him to give any clue to what they will do. I think it is great that outside the building no one knows what he will do.
I am confident that they have looked at every way the first 5 picks can go and have a plan depending on what havens ahead of them. Standard boiler plate answerers are great with me.
“We have a contingent trade planned with Minnesota. Our #6 for their two first round picks and a day 2 pick. We will pick a QB and the top WR on our board. If no trade, we will use our #6 pick on BPA. Any more questions? Thanks for coming.”

Giants GM Joe Schoen says he doesn't think any teams at the top of the NFL Draft are willing to move right now, but “exploratory talks will happen here shortly," likely in the next 48-72 hours, on possible trades closer to the draft

Asked Joe Schoen if he feels any of the top 3 are available (specifically New England at pick No. 3). He said they’ll know more in the next few days but right now “people are listening.”

"We are looking for smart, tough, dependable"
"We are going BPA"
"Ideally BPA lines up with needs"
I am looking forward the tone in what he says.
I am confident that they have looked at every way the first 5 picks can go and have a plan depending on what havens ahead of them. Standard boiler plate answerers are great with me.
"Joe, did you laugh when you heard Slayton was holding out?"
It's a good time to get some sneaky takes on the current construct of the roster.
It's no like Schoen is going to tell the media anything of value about the Giants draft strategy, nor should he.
