With the draft order reshuffled it presents a very interesting dynamic for Giants:
1) Jaguars - QB Trevor Lawrence
2) Jets - QB Zach Wilson
3) 49ers - QB Trey Lance
4) Falcons - QB Justin Fields
5) Bengals - OT Penei Sewell- blue chip
6) Dolphins - WR Ja'Marr Chase- blue chip
7) Lions - WR Jaylen Waddle, have Hockenson, and lost 2 top WRs
8) Panthers - QB Mac Jones - Rhule all over him at Senior Bowl and said to love him
9) Broncos - Micah Parsons? They have a decent WR corp /Noah Fant, so maybe no Smith or Pitts.
10) Cowboys - Surtain, unlikely to take another offense weapon
Best way to look at this is it is a very high likelihood that 2 to 3 of these 5 WILL be available when we pick:
Smith,Waddle,Pitts,Parsons, Slater
Who do you pick and why?
*I did not include Surtain/Farley/Horn because with 30MM invested AAV in our top 2 CBs and Holmes as a promising young slot and a strong supporting cast of safeties, I don't see us going here round 1.

the given ... 4 QBs, Sewell, Chase and Pitts are going as the first 7 ... the next 7 is where the fun begins ... could be:
Mac Jones, Slater, Waddle, Smith, Parsons, Surtain and Horn ... or one of the ERs.
Frankly, unless Chaos said to stay away from Parsons, I think he’s still the guy ... I’d expect them to blow smoke now to avoid losing him to the Cowboys ... that would be 2 years in a row losing arguably the best defensive player in the draft because they won a meaningless game in week 17.
If not Parsons or Slater, then I hope they trade down.
Rico is saying likely no on both.
There’s no doubt no one wants another Baker fiasco so if there’s any question on character or work ethic I fully understand ... but what doesn’t make sense is that the Giants under JJ have been very close mouthed on what they’re doing ... why would they Telegraph not being interested in guys 5 weeks before the draft? This makes me wonder.
I dont think they will hesitate to pull the trigger on another WR at 11.
Shep is underwhelming and they have no depth.
A cost controlled weapon to pair with Golliday seems like a good idea to me.

WR may not make the most sense given what they did in free agency. This might be the year the Giants trade down a bit for an extra pick or two if BPA is a WR

I think there’s a good chance Shep is gone after this year if he misses more than a game or two. He’s a nice player but has a relatively high cap number for the production level.
and with Ricos input it would seem that Case or Pitts would be the pick. Two very good players. I probably give the nod to Pitts in that scenario mostly because he's more of a Giant, and I'd be on the horn to trade Engram for a 2 or 3rd rd pick to anyone who has expressed interest in him almost immediately
If this is a redo, then I hope the Giants would make the right decision here (in other words, not the WR).
This draft is deep in WR and we have a functional corps already. 2nd-3rd round feel like the places to get one. I'd rather we get Parsons (if by some absolute miracle Dallas passes on him, though I can't see that happening) or Slater.

+1.

Pitts is almost universally projected as one of the top non QBs in the entire draft. Do you pass him up?

Very good post. Now that we have KG, the key is building a better wall for DJ.
Like George Young said, there are only a few dancing elephants to go around.
Shiny hood ornaments can be had later and we just signed one.
I'd be good with Pitts, or Smith as well. Parsons is nearly a remote thrower.

Damn autocorrect...PAYE****
Meaning next off-season all parts will be obtained especially on the defensive side.
I don’t see an Aaron donald or zack martin in this draft (maybe sewell) but im sure he will be gone by 11.
Like Trey Smith but would rather have Leatherwood
Rudolph and a potentially healthy Barkley improve the dynamic quite a bit.
I want offensive skill player @ 11, preferably Smith.

They may be in their own row as far as grade so it could very well be a WR or Pitts at 11.

Yes but neither are part of our WR Corp.
I agree we don’t have much there if KG misses any time.
Pitts, Smith, Waddle seems like Giants top 3 - they hope 1 is there. If not, take the edge talent- Ojulari could be the backup plan if all are gone assuming Surtain gone as well
I cannot see Detroit taking Waddle over Smith if they go WR. However, I have a feeling the Giants go for the impact player. So I think they go WR or CB. Not sure what happens to Farley after he surgery, but presume he drops bigtime.
I think they take Smith/Waddle or Surtain.
Oline will be later.
FWIW, my friend a former Michigan football player says Kwity Paye has all the measurables to be a great player, but absolutely needs the right coach, like a Belichick(or Judge) to develop and push him.
It is possible a guy may sneak in but I would doubt 2 guys will sneak in. Half the teams will be going QB and Sewell and Chase are the blue chippers.
Absolutely. Let's see... I'd be a bit surprised though if we got more than 1 unexpected riser.
