If you listen to any of Jerry Reese’s draft pressers (and if you haven’t I have you covered), then you know that the Giants “consider all options” and “will take the highest graded player on our board.” You will also understand that the Giants group players in “rows” and don’t do a numerical ranking. I imagine there are likely to be 32 players in the Giants first row, enough to allow them to make a pick regardless of where they end up in the first round.
Every year many are surprised by the Giants first-round pick, yet when the next draft rolls around we argue about how “this player has no chance of being there,” or the Giants “won’t take that guy” (imagine suggesting that at 10th overall last year the Giants were selecting Eli Apple — you could have started a brawl).
