Picking second overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, the New York Giants have their pick of anyone. Who should be their first round targets come April 26?

In 2004, the New York Giants made a huge move. They traded their No. 4 overall pick — which they used on Philip Rivers — their third round pick and their 2005 first and third round picks to acquire Eli Manning. They added two Lombardi Trophies since then, and Ernie Accorsi looks like a genius.

It hasn’t been all peaches and cream for the Giants, but two Super Bowl wins is two Super Bowls. Now it’s time to start over.

While they’re likely not going to make a draft day coup like they did in 2004, they will need this draft to begin the building of a championship contender. The last time a coach won a Super Bowl for them (prior to Super Bowl XLVI), it took them 18 years and 10 non-playoff seasons to win another one.

The Giants have a lot of holes to fill, and they also don’t have a lot of cap space. They won’t be able to use free agency as a tool this season. So, they must hit on the draft. Sitting at the No. 2 overall pick, who could they look to select?
