Off the top of my head,and I have a terrible memory, there are 4 WRs taken in the 2nd or 3rd round, Michael Thomas, Metcalf, AJ Brown and Claypool. Stefan Diggs was taken in the 5th like Slayton. Maybe someone can add some more names because there must be many. Im reading all over, take Devonte or Waddle with the 11th pick. Why? Especially on this years draft, there will be very good receivers after day 1.
Not sure I follow.
Lamb was good too.
But the more I think about it, the more I think all three will be gone by #11.
talent isn't anything without continuity, Giants have talent they need to stay healthy and galvanize.
That means the GM and staff too
Do you guys see the hits some of these bigger receivers in the NFL take? And in the cold windy games? You need Wildebeasts not Antelopes for those games.

We need receivers who separate and score points. Desperately.
I don’t think the Giants’ experience with WRs is typical. Either way, it has probably shaped our perception of the position.
WR, Edge, CB, LB, OT are all positions of varying degrees of need.
Of course all of this depends on FA, which is why it would be ideal to do the draft first, IMO. Then fill in holes with FA after the fact.
That said, you might get your wish as they've been need picking.

Well with their talent level, they can BPA pick and it still at a position of need. Hard to discern between the two.
Maybe not as bad this year...
TE at 11 feels a little uncomfortable, but I'd be very happy with him, he might even be my top pick depending on who goes before we are on the board. A real target for Jones.
If we are talking BPA, Pitts belongs in the top 10 hands down imo.

Davis and Learherwood are both reaches at 11.
With the challenges the Giants have on the offensive roster, let's worry more about finding as many good players as possible and less about playing cute games with draft position value systems.
It's also a bit curious how the Giants are so tight against the cap with a qb on a rookie deal, limited offensive talent, and a largely younger team??
He was the number 1 receiver on LSU.
His talent jumps off the screen. If he’s in shape and has no character issues, I believe he’s the least risky pick at the position. Taking a year off presents some challenges, but his skill is legit and his play speed/strength was undeniable. Was is the key word, we’ll see how the players that opted out are viewed by NFL gm’s.

Give me defense or I'll even take the best interior OL on the board in Wyatt Davis or Leatherwood because we may need 2 more guards after next year. We can get a body in the 2nd. Would love Parsons or Surtain at 11, but not one of these crickets that did it at the college level but will get obliterated in the pros.

Davis is slotted at 15 on most bpards mostly because of position.

I think we need to get a WR out of FA...There are a few good ones..Need a fairly young one 25/26 yrs old no more...1st rd Edge or CB...2ND rd same as 1st rd...3rd rd WR or TE..
4th rd LB...5th rd OL...6th/7th rd best available...8th rd Hire Me as GM...I come cheap...Just want 2 box seats...No money needed !!
