90% of the draft discussion for the Giants , centers on Round One.
While important, one round does not make a draft. My prediction is they stay put
at pick six ,and take Rome Odunze.
So now what? My priorities would be a DT to pair with Dexter Lawrence , a corner
Unless we pick up a vet free agent, a Running Back, a Safety and around round 4 or 5 a TE.
As for QB my crystal ball says , round 3.
So what are your ideas and priorities after round one, assuming the Giants let the draft “come to them “and pick one of the top three Receivers
So everything depends on his status.
Edge and CB are usually front-loaded but sometimes you find a late-round gem. In this draft I'd expect good value at Safety in the 3rd and onward.
Typically in the 3rd round you get a Davis Webb or Kyle Lauletta.
I might be dead wrong, but I'd love to see Schoen own the draft this year.

Not enough picks to probably own the draft this year.
Cooper Beebe to solidify OG.
Jenkins at DT. Kneeland at edge. There's some good corners like Tampa, Rakestraw, James. Sainristil later on I really like.
The safeties don't excite me on day 2 but day 3 theres a couple like the Washington State kid. Would also like a RB like Wright or Corum. Guerendo as a long shot late.
A tight end would be good. Spann-Ford as a late rounder I like.
Something like McCarthy-Benson-Leggette or McCarthy-Franklin-Corum.
Then day 3 I’m focused on defense. Particularly the secondary and D-line.
We did enough IMO for OL and Edge via FA/trades.
If they go WR round 1 I would say its more wide open but I think cornerback is a good place to look. Its supposed to drop off by the 3rd round.
I would say we are probably not going OL in the draft with all of the FAs we signed uless there is a real big gap in talent.
RB around 3 or 4. RB is a big need but not a lot of high end backs.
A safety somewhere in there.
If you look at the FA visits its been CB mostly that they havent filled so that will be a high priority in 2nd or 3rd.
The one thing none of us know is the Jones injury situation. Is he physically done? I think the Giants would have worked harder to get a FA in here if Jones was done. Lock doesnt move the needle. With 3 QB needy teams in the top 3 it would have been hard move to get one.
So everything depends on his status.
I assume this means you've heard from others about his injury situation
So everything depends on his status.
That would suck but , it has to be considered
Typically in the 3rd round you get a Davis Webb or Kyle Lauletta.
I hear you Gman but after the top 4 QB’s there is a break in talent , then comes Penix and Nix who may both be gone by our round two pick. After that Rattler Pratt, Milton .
Remember this the QB’s in our division were a round 2 a round 4 and a round 5 ( besides DJ)
I agree. I was impressed with a few of the potential later round TE’s running in the 4.6 4.7 range, with solid receiving skills. We have our blocking Tight Ends which we didn’t have last year (due to Tommy Sweeny’s medical problem,) leaving Bellinger to block ( he can actually run patterns if given a chance)
