D Smith and T Lance both on GMFB today..

both seem like great kids. Both seem highly motivated and serious.

I'll be excited if we get Smith, which I think is the likelihood.

Both kids will be easy to root for.

would be pretty nice to have. It would make it easier to justify his selection though if we had more draft picks.

Why? You draft BPA no matter the number of picks you may or may not have. You marry need with value. This never changes. Every team thinks this way because it is simple logic. Why would the Giants not draft the best WR on the board if he's a game breaking impact player? Because of Slayton? Or Shepard? Please.

The Giants will draft a player they think can be an impact player.

No I think Smith is justifiable either way, but with more picks on the board we have chances to get players for some of the other positions we are missing. Some people might think we should draft someone from a position we need more. If we had more picks, maybe more people would be ok if we drafted Smith, but I am all for him either way.

Meh. You do the best you can with what you've got.

The Giants were big players in free agency...bigger than almost everyone expected them to be. If the idea was to set themselves up to not have to reach in the draft, then I'd say they did a pretty good job. If this offseason turns out like 2005, it won't matter how many draft picks they have. They'll be set up for future success.
