If the Giants want one of the top three receivers and they stay at 6 they will certainly get one. Secrecy doesn't matter. Now if they are considering a QB at 6 or moving up or down in the draft, then they should not publicize their intentions.

Bob Papa said on the radio this regime is as tight lipped about the draft as any he remembers. 

No reason for them to ever share any draft intentions, whether it's relevant or not.  Good for them.

If the Giants dont want a QB their options are endless.

It's a breath of fresh air to hear this as opposed to a few years ago when everyone and their mother knew we were targeting Devonta Smith and Philly was able to leap frog us for him

And before that we had telegraphed our love for Leonard Floyd only to see the Bears (?) jump us

and the announced love for the gold jacket running back had the rest of the league saying go ahead.

I think of it as common sense; certainly not paranoia. Let's not project our own frailties and foibles toward others especially when it's little more than media-serving. How about that? Ya think?

They could have made calls to teams that they had no intention of trading with and went to programs and spoke to players they had no intention of drafting because outsiders talk.

If Schoen is doing his job correctly, his decisions will be based on facts rather than speculation.  So, he would have done his due diligence in terms of the cost of trading up and possibly trading down.   He should be fully aware of all his options in terms of that 6th pick in the draft.

That would be a welcome change from Gettleman, who wouldn't even field calls to see what teams were offering in terms of trading down when he used the second overall pick on Barkley.   Even if Gettleman ultimately decided to go, Barkley, it was poor GMing not to fully know his options.

It IS common sense, however the previous administration demonstrated that common sense was an oxymoron.
