4 first-round mistakes the Giants must avoid in the 2024 NFL Draft

2. Selecting the 'best player available' at No. 6

This is a fairly stacked draft class and while the Giants certainly weren't a good team in 2023, they definitely have some positions they need to focus on more than others. Knowing this, the Giants should not enter the 2024 NFL Draft with the mindset of selecting the best player available at No. 6 overall.

For example, if Brock Bowers falls to six, it would be in Schoen's best interest not to take him. Bowers is an incredible talent, but to take a tight end when the Giants have so many issues on both sides of the ball just seems foolish.

Whether it be offensive line, quarterback, edge-rusher, or receiver, the Giants have far too many other positions of need to take a tight end so high. While Bowers could help with the teams receiving issues, tight ends can only do so much, especially given all of the other problems New York has offensively.
