Yes. And draft one in round 2 or three. Draft is loaded with receivers. Hiatt and Robinson plus two.

Gabe Davis might make sense depending on how much he asks for, but I too am hopeful that we add another receiver with one of our first two picks.

I think with a need for QB and so many other pieces, we are more of rebuilding mode so I prefer to use rookie contracts to improve the team rather than more expensive free agents with the exception being to sign in free agency at least one good starting OL player.  If we go with either DJ or a rookie QB, we have to protect them.  Everywhere else, I say get it in the draft.

The only two on that list I'd touch are Higgins (but he is not a 1 and he wants to be paid as such) and Ridley.

Mike Evans is still a player but he's old so he is definition of stopgap (Beckham too). Gabe Davis still hasn't lived up to potential and he has Josh Allen and Stephon Diggs helping him out.  Michael Pittman is a decent to good Number 2 but he disappears too much in Colt offense.  Hollywood Brown is home run guy and good player but he is just a better version of what Giants WR roster is littered with already.  Mooney, Bourne and Samuel are big, fat no's.

The only two I'm interested in - Huggins and Pittman - will not be leaving their current teams.

No. FA WRs are too expensive.  Get one with pick 6 or one of their 2nd rounders.

It's best imo to get your cheaper positions in FA were you can get quality without the absurd contracts. Like grabbing 2 guards, a swing tackle, RB, and safety. All 5 positions are relatively cheap and we focus on the premium positions in the draft and be significantly better. I wrote out a detailed perfect offseason for the Giants the other day that I haven't shared yet but it includes grabbing those positions in FA and overhauling the offense in the draft with 2 plug a play defenders also.

The Giants should NOT target any of the WR's on the list linked in the original post, ESPECIALLY Tee Higgins. Bob

I was going to say the same thing. Nabers at 6 and get a TE in the 2nd round

We need a legit #1, go-to, guy. None of these expensive FAs fit that bill. Pass on all of them and see what happens in the draft.

It would only be Higgs but I wouldn't do it. Fix the Oline. Spend the money there. Draft a QB. Then look and see how good Slayton, Hyatt and WDR look.

thank you!! I look forward to rational and hopefully non-biased discussion on the team.
