Is there a prospect you don't want the Giants to draft at 6?

You may only select up to 7 options.

There is NFL Insider Tony Pauline:




Finally, I heard other stuff from a reliable source, but I don't have permission to share it publicly.  I will just say that I suspect Tony Pauline heard the same or something similar, which is why he posted what he did.

Thanks

I understand many here clearly want one of the top QB or WR prospects, but considering the number of holes we have to fill, plus the known failure stats of any pick, do you guys not see the value of trading back for more ammunition to fill the holes correctly? or is it because it takes at least two to trade, compared to just making the pick of one player being there at our turn?

This class has zero depth, so trading back as opposed to getting a blue chip prospect would be a hard pill to swallow as you would like get significantly less in return.

I am a bit surprised... Do you think Ladd McConkey who is ranked in the 20s and 30s by draft media pundits, is that much below those top 3 WRs? or The OTs Fuaga and Latham, are much below Alt in ability?

Your assessment of the depth of this draft is at odds with a lot of things I've read.

And in the Giants' case, 2 red chips + a pink chip > 1 blue chip because they need to add talent at a lot of positions.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist.

There's basically 70-90 prospects that would be taken in a traditional draft. The rest of the prospects are 6th, 7th, and UDFA level talent that we would be taking in the 4th and 5th. NIL and Covid has made this one of the worst drafts for depth in a decade. I know @MightyGiants has posted on this a few times as well, about the overall depth of this class.

@AZGiantFan I know at least Nagy (who does the Senior Bowl) said there really isn't much in the way of day 3 talent

I'm not looking for them to trade down from 6 for day 3 draft picks, so I don't think that is relevant.

I certainly don't want, and wouldn't expect, them to trade down from 6 for 4th and 5th round picks.
