Spoke to a Giants source. He said the feeling in this building today is the Giants are looking to trade down. When I asked why? He said “we have a ton of needs”
NYG contemplating all options.

i'm not completely against the idea of trading down

but ask yourself how many great players the Pats have after Brady? How many household names?

Great players cover up so much shit. The Giants have THREE pretty high picks AFTER the 2nd overall pick. They have the second rounder and the two third rounders. Rome wasn't built in a day but if they hit on 3-4 picks here that's a great start, assuming you added a generational talent at pick 2 or a big time QB.

Everyone loves getting tons of picks just remember one cold hard fact--you WON'T hit on all of them. You probably won't hit on half of them.
just take the QB if you love him

if you don't, take the bad ass RB or DE.

Would you rather have Michael Strahan or MArshall Faulk vs 2-3 players like Hankins, Richburg, Ruben Randle and Brandon Jacobs and Phillip Sparks?

But selling the #2 pick can give you 3 years worth of "just the hits" in two years.
So tired of reading that

Nelson, Chubb, and Barkley are the only blue chip players at the top of this draft.

Just because ESPN is focused on those guys doesn't mean there the only players on the board. Just go check out SY'56 ratings. Look for 90 and above. And that's just one guy's view. Point is, there's more players worthy of attention who would be far more than "meh".
Here's how SY'56 ranks it out

For weeks now, we’ve been reading that an RB is not worth the no. 2 pick. Is any RB worth more than TWO first round picks? That’s one of the questions being asked in #Giants HQ today.

Spoiler alert:

The answer is no.
