The Giants draft position isn't relevant this year, as it relates to picking 10-12 or 16-18.  At some point, you have to start winning and stop losing to move up the draft board a few spots.  Unless your team has a major hole and there's a draftable player who fills that hole - like Trevor Lawrence this year or Chase Young last year - losing games to move up a few spots is incredibly dumb.

I also don't know that I agree with a game-breaking WR as the #1 need.  Most winning teams don't have game-breaking WRs, they have playmakers and skilled options.  Slayton and Shepherd are solid WRs and Barkley adds another receiving option out of the backfield.  I'd much rather shore up the O-line in free agency if possible than add a fourth receiver option.

I think they can also accomplish this by moving on from Engram and either drafting or signing a TE who can double as a good receiving option and a solid blocker.  And who won't drop everything in sight.  Giving Jones multiple solid receiving options is better IMO than loading up with another Beckham-style WR.  If they can get a 4th rounder for Engram, I'd take it and run.

If he's there, Smith out of Alabama would be a steal.  The TE from Florida is another option if he's available.
