Here’s what to watch for at Giants mandatory minicamp opening Tuesday:

Offense. Lots of offense.

It’s a short wish list, sure, but it’s a critical one.

John Mara has been clamoring for an improved offense for what seems like an eternity, through hirings and firings and evaluations.

Golden Tate has been cleaning out Eli Manning on the golf course.

Mara and his organization obviously haven’t executed well enough recently to achieve this goal, but the Giants’ co-owner is well aware the modern NFL is ruled by its blistering offenses.

He knows fans want to see more points. He knows more points will mean more wins than the Giants’ eight total victories in the last two years. He is aware last year’s four conference championship game participants were the league’s four highest-scoring teams:

The Chiefs (565), Rams (527), Saints (504) and Super Bowl champion Patriots (436).

So even during this three-day minicamp, as Pat Shurmur and his staff continue installing their system and encouraging internal competition, what the Giants should want to see more than anything is crisp, efficient and consistent offensive execution.

The defense’s production and effectiveness matter, too, but the offense has been this franchise’s annual Achilles heel. Last year, the Giants averaged only 21.75 offensive points per game (348 total), including just 18.75 points through their 1-7 start in the first eight games.

The biggest development this week, if it happened, would be for rookie quarterback Daniel Jones to receive some snaps with the first-team offense.

There is likely no way Shurmur would do that this early in front of us, the assembled New York media, and feed a frenzy of speculation about an earlier-than-anticipated Eli Manning end.

Still, if Jones looks as good in these closed OTA practices as the Giants say he does, and the goal is to build the best offense, it would be incumbent upon Shurmur to give him a shot.

If Jones remains planted firmly behind Manning, though, there will be plenty to watch on Manning’s first-team unit to judge whether this 2019 Giants offense can make great strides.

Manning needs to be accurate, and he needs to complete throws down the field when afforded time. Checkdowns must be last resorts, not regular occurrences.

The quarterback’s chemistry with free agent signing Golden Tate at receiver will matter a great deal. Evan Engram’s development and increased involvement will impact the offense’s dynamic significantly.

A healthy Cody Latimer could be the consistent deep threat this offense needs, complimenting the all-around skill set of Sterling Shepard. Or will it be Corey Coleman?

Then of course there is the centerpiece Saquon Barkley, the critical complementary pieces such as tight end Rhett Ellison, and the all-important offensive line.

Nate Solder’s absence at left tackle until training camp, while recovering from a mid-May arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle, is a blow to the line’s growth as a five-man unit.

However, the Giants have no room for excuses and limited time to get this right before training camp arrives and suddenly they are playing games that matter.

Touchdowns in a minicamp 11-on-11 drill don’t guarantee production on Sundays in the fall. The stats aren’t official for these practices in East Rutherford in early June.

Every week is another step, however, towards the Giants hopefully taking a huge leap forward on the offensive side of the ball come September.

That, more than player attendance, is the real “mandatory” part of Giants minicamp this week.
