Giants wanted a high pick + Deforest Buckner from 49ers

The Niners wouldn’t have wanted to trade a high pick this year or next plus rising star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner … and the Giants might not have wanted to settle, say, for next year’s first-rounder and this year’s second-rounder (36th overall) plus a lesser player than Buckner (say safety Jaquiski Tartt). The Giants need help now.

Lynch wanted to get Odell while giving up nothing in return.
If they could have gotten the #2 pick in the draft

for Beckham, and turned it down, they're nuts. And if they thought they could get that plus Buckner, they're even crazier.

#2 overall seemed like it was always a pipedream. If this report is true i'm guessing the Giants wanted 36, Buckner, and next years 1 or combo of 2+3/4.
All reports I've seen say giants asked

Never hurts to ask.
Still like DG strategy

Wanted picks plus a player. That has potential to fill three positions for OBJ in one transaction. Frees up cap for next year and opens door for QB this year, or next. Think it was smart strategy for a team who wants to compete right, away with ELI probably, with a lot of holes to plug, A lot of picks in this draft and $$$ to spend next year. Likel this combination of DG. Abrams and the Coaching staff and Mara and management giving them a chance to get it done. Why TF not, their jobs are on the line in 2 years if it does not work. Thats incentive enough. We will see. Keep the faith . Think we are on track to compete sooner rather than later. Sorry, my rant.
their second round, next year's #1, and Buckner

would have been a great trade for us.
Buckner would play DE

in 3-4, most likely. and few of these Oregon OLBs do much on the edge in the NFL.

Or he didn't really want him at all. Market price was set- Cleveland.
