Thoughts heading into Day 2:
• The Giants absolutely should not draft a QB tonight. If they couldn't add a game-changer in the first round, there's no reason to use a later pick on a prospect who won't be a clear upgrade on what they have. They went BPA in the first round. Continue with that philosophy to build the best roster possible. The future at QB will be addressed in 2025.
• Schoen mentioned adding picks or trading up. Trading up would be a tough sell. As Schoen continues to say, there's plenty of holes on the roster. They only have five picks remaining. Not sure they're in position to reduce their swings by giving up picks in a trade. If they trade back, I'd be aiming for 2025 picks. They're going to need as much ammo as possible next year.
• I can't imagine the Giants double-dipping at WR, so they should be rooting for a run on the position at the start of the second round to push other players toward 47.
• Looking for possible Day 2 targets: Focus on players from big schools. Schoen's picks in the first three rounds as GM have all been from power conferences (if they still exist). Would be surprised by a swing on a small-school guy tonight.
• I don't think the Giants should be in a rush to trade Darius Slayton — it's OK to have multiple good players at a position. But if his unhappiness with his contract turns into a trade request, the Giants would have to be open to moving him if they can get a mid-round pick.
• Schoen has added some players with promise on Day 2 in the past, but be needs to crush it today. There's nothing that says you can't land a guy on Day 2 who is an immediate stud.
