Being bad on the field has its advantages this time of year, and the badness that came out of the 2018 season earned the Giants the No. 6 overall pick Thursday night in the first round of the NFL draft.
Being bold — or baffling (depending on your view of the trade that sent Odell Beckham Jr. to the Browns) — gave the Giants the No. 17 overall pick as well. This could allow the franchise to finally identify and secure the heir apparent to Eli Manning, or, at the very least, add a second player capable of making an immediate and profound impact.
