Which top-flight draft prospect have Giants been advised to avoid?

The reality is that the Giants running game was already a strength last season. They were fifth in EPA per rush and ran for nearly 2,200 yards as a team. Love would concentrate that production and make it more dangerous, but the Giants have bigger needs.

For instance, the defense was dead last in EPA allowed per rush and the pass coverage wasn't anything to write home about. A defensive playmaker or a receiver to replace Wan'Dale Robinson are more valuable selections for Harbaugh and Co."

Should Giants avoid drafting Jeremiyah Love?

On Saturday night, the Giants agreed to trade defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for the No. 10 overall pick in the draft. Now the Giants select twice between No. 5 and No. 10.

With that kind of firepower, the Giants now have major flexibility with their picks. They have a chance to land two premium players and even if they have two positional needs that they consider major, they don't need to try and fill those with these two picks.

Instead, the Giants should look to land the best player on the board with at least one of these picks and unless the New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals or Tennessee Titans select Love between picks two and four, he absolutely needs to be the Giants' selection at No. 5.

The Giants could still have a chance to add one of the best wide receivers, offensive linemen, or defensive linemen at No. 10. That draft class would be a home run, almost regardless of how rounds two through seven went.
