...interesting read:
ROUND 1 (2): QB Sam Darnold, USC
ROUND 2 (34): RB Sony Michel, Georgia
ROUND 3 (66): DE/LB Uchenna Nwosu, USC
ROUND 3 (69): C/G/T Austin Corbett, Nevada
ROUND 4 (108): WR Deon Cain, Clemson
ROUND 5 (139): DL Andrew Brown, Virginia
IMO, he's got the right position at #2 but hell if I know if it's the right player
Sony Michel is a real nice player, but Eli needs O-line in Round 2.
Austin Corbett is one mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter. And he can knuckle your head before you count to four.

FWIW, I wouldn't be thrilled with Michel, although by most accounts (including Sy's) he appears worthy of the 34th pick. One point of consensus about this RB class is that it's basically "Saquon Barkley and a whole bunch of guys who should be very good." If the Giants want to go for greatness with Barkley, that's fine. Otherwise, #34 might be a bit early for a consolation prize. It will be interesting to see what kind of trade-down opportunities emerge overnight, with the Giants holding the second pick on Day 2.
Nwosu and Corbett might be gone before #66 and #69, but Dunleavy offers enough options to cover that possibility.
If we don't go Barkley in round 1, I think we should invest a high pick on a RB. We have gone too long without a quality RB. This will force teams to put additional defenders in the box and keep DB's honest.
A healthy OBJ should flourish in this scenario. It has been the missing piece (at least one of them) that the former GM has ignored to the team's detriment.

I think the Giants will draft Tyrell Crosby in round two.
