The New York Giants (1-2) will host the Dallas Cowboys (1-2) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Thursday night in a Week 4 primetime battle.
That, of course, provides those of us here at Giants Wire the opportunity to hypothetically steal from the Cowboys’ roster in search of depth and/or talent upgrades for Big Blue.
You always want to take linebacker Micah Parsons in this scenario but with Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns under contract, it’s more of a want than an actual need.
There are also guards Tyler Smith and Zack Martin, but they fall into the same category as Parsons.
Truth be told? The Cowboys’ overall roster isn’t as alluring as it once was. With the Giants having addressed several areas of need and Dallas doing very little this past offseason, the pickings are slim — much slimmer than they’ve been in recent years.
We could go the easy route and take quarterback Dak Prescott but even that doesn’t feel like a game-changer at this point. So, instead, we’ll upgrade the cornerback position with the theft of Trevon Diggs.
Diggs is not off to the best start this season and has struggled mightily against the run, but he would still be a major upgrade alongside Deonte Banks, who also struggled against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3.
The two-time All-Pro earned his highest overall grade in 2023 (80.7) and is likely to rebound throughout this season. Still just 26 years old, Diggs is in the prime of his career and the Giants would benefit greatly from his tight coverage and ball-hawking ability.
What are your thoughts, Giants fans? Would you pick Trevon Diggs or would you steal an entirely different player from the Dallas Cowboys?
