Trade down, snag a WR
The Giants trading down — which would represent a first in the career of Dave Gettleman — would be a surprise in and of itself. Even with rumors swirling that that’s their ultimate goal, it will still come as a somewhat unexpected development.
But what if that surprise is compounded by an unexpected pick? What if the Giants trade down and instead of selecting an offensive tackle or edge rusher, they go with a wide receiver?
The wide receiver pool is exceptionally deep in this year’s draft and there will be plenty of options no matter where they land. And in various analytics mock drafts throughout the year, the Giants have been projected to add a big-time playmaker for Daniel Jones.
This scenario is likely on the outskirts of probable, but as former Giants general manager Jerry Reese used to say, “never say never.”
