One 2022 NFL Draft scenario that is being widely discussed is the New Orleans Saints using picks 16 and 19 in Round 1 to trade up to No. 5 with the New York Giants, who are said to want out of that selection. Yours truly has said many times that while I would be fine with the Giants moving back with one of their selections at No. 5 and No. 7, my preference would be for the Giants to get a 2023 first-round pick in return. What, though, if this scenario appeals to Giants GM Joe Schoen? It would give the first-year GM three picks in the draft’s top 20, a chance to quickly add three players who could become centerpieces of the team’s future.
