, often barely minutes after the seventh round was complete. The Giants are scoring well, receiving a bunch of A’s, lauded for their boldness moving up to add value and talent with Banks and Hyatt.By all accounts, Joe Schoen — in the popular parlance — “killed it’’ in this draft.Corey Sipkin for the NY PostCorey Sipkin for the NY Post“That lasts about two days,’’ Schoen said. “You don’t win games in April.

Taking corners in the first round is risky business, though. The last two the Giants selected, Eli Apple and Deandre Baker, were washouts . Not long ago, Jeff Okudah was the No. 3 overall selection in the 2020 draft by the Lions out of Ohio State, widely considered one of the safest and solid picks in years, pretty much a “can’t miss’’ prospect.
