Jim Cardamone asks:
As an NYG Season Ticket holder living in the Philadelphia suburbs I can’t express how excited I was to see Micah Parsons available to Big Blue at 11. I agree that we got a good package to move back with the Chicago trade. But, I am curious about your thoughts on the pick of WR when we saw PHL leapfrog NYG and take Devonta Smith and then we knew we would be leaving Parsons for DAL. And then WAS picks a LB before we finally get our Rd. 1 pick. Looking at how the other teams in the NFC East drafted, why would we bring in yet another WR and not take a generational LB in Parsons or an offensive lineman to keep Jones safe from players like Micah Parsons. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Jason Byam asks:
Instead of focusing on the 31st ranked offense and adding a playmaker, any chance the Giants would look to go all in on their defense? Try and establish a truly dominate defense using most of their resources on that side of the ball? Seems to me their Defense is much closer to being dominate than their offense and with Saquon coming back maybe their offense could be ‘good enough.’
Ed says: Jason, defense is obviously a possibility at No. 11. I believe wide receiver is more likely, but the Giants have defensive needs and their will be deserving defensive players at 11. If the Giants took linebacker Micah Parsons [Prospect of the Week profile], or went with cornerbacks Patrick Surtain or Caleb Farley [round table debate]. If they selected an edge rusher I wouldn’t like it, but I would certainly understand it.
