Round 1, No. 7 overall: Sauce Gardner, CB, Cincinnati

Former select: DE Travon Walker

Ekwonu and Charles Cross are accessible, but the Giants, even though tempted, are not likely to double-down with an additional offensive lineman. Walker was taken by the Panthers at No. 6 and that means there are no edge rusher/defensive line potential clients the Giants like this significant. Gardner is a want-benefit collection. He did not make it possible for a touchdown in college or university, has terrific duration and ball-hawk competencies and possesses just the proper amount of money of self esteem/cockiness for the position. With James Bradberry envisioned to be a salary cap departure, Gardner will be necessary to stage in immediately.

Round 3, No. 81 total: Khalil Shakir, WR, Boise State

Previous decide on: LB Leo Chenal
