General manager Joe Schoen doesn’t have the luxury of playing it safe this year. Picking fifth overall sounds nice until you realize this roster still has holes everywhere, and one blue-chip prospect isn’t going to fix all of them.
If the New York Giants want to stop being polite and start being real around franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart and new head coach John Harbaugh, they need quality... and quantity. I'm talking picks on picks on picks.
So instead of sitting tight at No. 5 and hoping the board falls perfectly, it was time to get aggressive.
