Ohio State safety Caleb Downs? Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love? Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson? Or will the Giants completely shock the NFL community with a series of moves that no one saw coming?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"76\">Besides the question of who the Giants will draft, there has been speculation that the Giants might trade down from No. 5 and\/or No. 10, depending on how the board falls. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"79\">Will the Giants look to pick up more picks later int he draft, including in the third round where they currently lack a pick  and have a wide gap between No. 37 in the second round and No. 105 in the fourth? <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">The bottom line is that there are so many different directions this draft can go for the Giants, and we\u2019re going to bring you the very latest in our live blog, featuring a collection of national and local reporters\u2019 tweets regarding all the latest activity and reactions from the draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7f\">Please note that, typically, media covering the draft from the site of the event typically receive draft picks before television and internet broadcasts make them known.
