Caleb Downs evaluation at No. 5

What makes the most sense for the New York Giants in terms of draft options? Free agency will help shape things further, but in the meantime, David Syversten of Ourlads Scouting Services drops some perspective and scouting reports on how new head coach John Harbaugh might go about shaping the team.

Key discussions also center on Kayvon Thibodeaux’s future, optimal trade scenarios, and the value of finding affordable slot receiver replacements for Wan’Dale Robinson. The discussion also covers the impact of Dennard Wilson’s defensive scheme, potential third-round steals for depth, and how Jaxson Dart must evolve as an under-center quarterback.
