Gone are the days of the Giants’ offensive line being the weak link of the team. Or so, we hope.

The additions of veteran left tackle Nate Solder and rookie Will Hernandez should solidify one side of the line, Right tackle Ereck Flowers remains a major question mark,

Could a guy like Chad Wheeler step up and push for more playing time?

How does the team replace JPP?

The Giants had just 27 sacks as a team in 2017. Jason Pierre-Paul had nearly 30 percent of those.

It goes without saying that the loss of Pierre-Paul, who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent, is a big one.

How will the Giants replace his production?

Most of that onus will fall on Olivier Vernon, but no other player had more than four sacks last year. Keep your eye on Kareem Martin and third-round pick Lorenzo Carter.
