The Giants are in the unfortunate position of not just needing to augment some positions, but many. And while OL deservedly gets most of the attention, WR which was supposed to be "solved" by the addition of Toney and Golladay, hasn't been. Toney can't stay or the field, and Golladay has fizzled. Never one to get great separation, whether Jones and improved blocking will allow him to get into sync sufficiently with his QB to get him the ball in the tight windows he appears to require is an open issue.
Shep is on his way out, and the bad hands which were a problem for Slayton in school are back, whereas his college track speed is nowhere in evidence.
But there are so many needs to address, I can't say, yeah, go out and draft a stud WR. But in keeping with trying to add BPA, game breaking play makers, there are some WR's that should be looked at. This guy has caught my eye, taller, lean but strong burner with good hands and routes, Jameson Williams from Alabama. If still there in the 2nd, a consideration?

Rebuild with the best players you can evaluate, but do it smartly. This isn’t...
This is why we can't have nice things.
JFC.
The college game is chock-full of WR talent every year. With good scouting, you can find them in every round. The league is littered with great WRs taken after the first round. It's a position where it's smart business to wait until later in the draft to find them. The supply easily meets the demand.

Why can't you take both an OT and a WR?
It’s not the same as picking a RB, WR is a premium positive, RB is not. It also doesn’t mean ignoring the OL either, the Giants have a lot of picks and there’s always next year and the year after that.

If it's a passing league, find a passer...

WR is more important than RB. But it's also a position with a good supply almost every year. And talent to be found on day 2 and 3 of the draft. Patience is a virtue with the WR position.

And the Giants haven’t had a top tier WR since Nicks in his prime. If Jameson Williams is on the same level as Adams, Kupp, or Chase I’m all for it.

Same with RB to some extent (the latter two sentences).

It’s much easier to find good linemen late

With your initial question about taking Williams with number 8 - I am not for it but realize it can be done without throwing the remote.
But if you're taking Williams at 8 you should be thinking that he is CD Lamb or Ja Chase - and if he is-- the chance there is someone you can get in the latter rounds beyond round 2 is extremely slim.
SO those that are mentioning on here you can get a WR in later rounds is not what I think your intent was in this scenario, is it? Aren’t you expecting with the number 8 pick CD Lamb or Ja Chase?
