As it stands the Giants have 9 picks. Based on the link below they are projected to get 2 more comp picks. That would give them:
one 1
one 2
three 4's
three 5's
one six
two sevens
That opens the door for targeting day day players and enough capital to jump around and possibly enough to parlay something into 2020.
The team has lots of needs, and under Reese our late round draft picks were awful.
With Gettleman maybe that changes.
The giants certainly have more draft capital to work with and the 3rd rd pick = Beal so they kind of already drafted a CB, which should be a upgrade.
How does 11 (albeit many mid round picks) selection sound to you, and how would you spend those middle picks?

That way we can move up to get a QB because we aren’t going to be this bad again and we aren’t getting a QB this draft.
Pick up an extra 2nd this year and a 1st and 4th next year.
2nd RD draft DE and RT.
4th through 7th RDs I should have 9 picks left. I'm going to get an OG as soon as the value is there, two CBs, another OL (any position but prefer C and OG), another DL, another LB, a S, and with my last two picks perhaps another S, LB, DL, or a stretch the field WR.
This draft, to me, I believe should be about building up the trenches, getting some additional DB talent, and adding an edge rusher.
Polite can really bend and get after it in the passing game. In fact, I think he might be a riser in the draft and 13 may be too low to be able to get him.
I'd look to package some of those 5-6-7 maybe even a 4 and move up into 2 to have more second rounders. Keep the first rounder (looking D also) and grab as many second rounders as possible.
Those must be unique humans. Unique like Barkely is unique.
And the likely prospect of at least one sitting at 6. Due to what goes down every year.
It would be madness not to draft that player, or at least one of the 3 or 4 if the player is there.
But this year I'm in trade-down mode.
Trade down and either get a QB you like later in RD 1 or take BPA. Use the extra choices for other needs not satisfied in FA, like OT, G, edge rusher, S and LB.
But-
Thus year I'm an advocate of staying put (DL) then trading up for additional second rounder(s) for D.+
Maybe the center.

Yeah generally I think like you, if you know you can get a great talent at your pick, just make the pick. I am buying in at this point, however, considering the looming immediate QB need, and the QBs available in this draft compared to next year, that getting that extra first in 2020 would be a HUGE win. You get two firsts and who knows, the Dolphins (or Giants) might end up with the #1 overall pick.
It's very hard for 11 drafted rookies to make a team.
I would also, that or try to trade their 2nd this year for a 1st next year and pray that team has a horrific season.

I believe it is a real long shot that the NY Giants will have a top 10 draft pick (of their own) in the next 10 years.
The grass is always greener, or mostly so, imo

Last year when we picked at #2 a lot of people said it would be a long time before we are ever in the position to draft a QB so highly. While we are at #6 and not #2, that's pretty high. And even in this last draft, Josh Allen went #7 and Josh Rosen went 10th.
I think the Giants could end up with the #1 overall pick next year. I'm not saying it's likely, but that it is a possibility. As far as top 10, well, this draft will make 4 of the last 5 years that the Giants have drafted in the top 10, so I would guess that to be pretty likely, as I can't say I have a great deal of confidence that Eli is still a winning QB, and plus, injuries can derail any season.
As far as QBs in this draft go, I am intrigued by Daniel Jones, Haskins, Grier, and Finley, but I don't think any of them are worth the #6 pick. I think the only way it makes sense is to trade back into the 20's, where it might make sense to take a Daniel Jones there.
That said, we are a long ways away with post-season bowl games, Combine, Pro Days, interviews, private workouts, and there is just so much that affects the draft that it doesn't make a lot of sense to even try and put these guys in order right now.
