Look who we've grabbed in the 2nd since 2003:
Osi Umenyiora
Chris Snee
Corey Webster
Steve Smith
Linval Joseph
Jonathan Hankins
Landon Collins
Sterling Shephard
Dalvin Tomlinson
Sure, there have been a couple of clunkers and a couple of meh's, but we've done pretty well. And every year some amazing talent slips out of the first into the second, and we're at the top of the second.
I'm confident we'll have our choice of a couple of great players at that position and identify the right one. Probably on the OL, but who knows.
I'm not so sure about OL at #34.
It s a great opportunity picking there.
And Tiki Barber
Rueben Randle
And Mark Collins, Erik Howard and Pepper Johnson, who were all taken in '86.
And Leonard Marshall and Joe Morris.

Didn't forget, they're under the ugh/miss category. Clint Sintim was also 2nd round I think. I stopped at 2003 for a reason!
Point is the same, we have a better than 50% chance of grabbing a great player - as good as half the folks that will be drafted in the first round.
I'm always excited for Round 2!
Courtland Sutton in RD 2???
For some reason, I remembered picking RB's back to back that year, but I don't even think I followed the draft back then.

Yes, we took both guys in the same draft.
Be here the 24 hrs of posting after we are on the clock, and when we are commented out on the 1st rd pick, there'll be a ton of excitement on the available @34.
That was an era where our second round picks tended to be better than our first round picks.
But count me as one who is just as excited about the Round 2 pick as I am about the Round 1 pick (slightly less, but you get the point).
I would be thrilled if the Giants came out of this draft with OT Brian O'Neill and Frank Ragnow. I just have a feeling that Ragnow is going to be an outstanding center for whichever team drafts him.
I have an algorithm. It's data science.

Firstly, how do you gauge the excitement of this place? Number B, how dare you. And fourth, I am super excited about every pick.
