The first pick was easy for the New York Giants.

GM Joe Schoen used the third selection of the NFL Draft on Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter, one of the two top consensus blue-chip prospects (and the only remaining one) on the board.

QB Cam Ward (Tennessee) and blue-chip CB/WR Travis Hunter (Jacksonville) were gone and the Giants' medical team already had signed off on the foot and shoulder injuries that had sidelined Carter during the offseason.

And that's when things got tricky. Well, for a little while, at least. Schoen traded his second- and third-round picks and a 2026 third-rounder to Houston for the 25th overall choice to snare Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart, ending several months of speculation as to whether the Giants would add a young potential franchise signal caller.

Then, the Giants went back to matching value with need four of their remaning five picks, taking DT Darius Alexander (third round), RB Dam Skattebo (fourth), OL Marcus Mbow (fifth) and CB Korie Black (seventh). They also took TE Thomas Fidone with their earlier seventh-rounder.

CBS Sports HQ football analyst Emory Hunt joined Big Blue Breakdown host Paul Dottino to review the Giants' draft class and discuss how much these players can improve the roster. In addition, there was a session to discuss the fans' comments and questions.

The Giants' continue to knock items off of their checklist, yet some items still remain as they head into Day 3 of the NFL Draft. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing because this year's class figured to have enough depth in their areas of concern - and that's how it's played out so far.

After three rounds, GM Joe Schoen has been able to meet value with need and he should be able to continue this process, beginning in the fourth round. You've got to figure the offense is going to get some more of the attention through the seventh and final round, although you can check young quarterback off the list after the arrival of first-round pick Jaxson Dart.

The Giants already did plenty to beef up their defense with the additions of dominant pass rusher Abdul Carter and active defensive tackle Darius Alexander.

Big Blue Breakdown host Paul Dottino sorts through some of the possible targets as the Giants continue to build their roster.

The first part was easy -- take Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft. And that's exactly what New York Giants GM Joe Schoen did, before heading to the second part of his puzzle.

The free agent signings of veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston had allowed Schoen to feel much more comfortable about the upcoming season, but he still did not have a young franchise quarterback.

The Giants found their potential answer by trading up from the second round (34th overall) to Houston's spot at No. 25 and grabbed grab Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart. It also cost the Giants a third-round pick this year (No. 99) and a 2026 third-round choice.

Schoen entered the draft with eight selections, including the third overall and five inside the first 105 picks (through Round 4). The general manger had told the media he saw edge rusher, defensive line, running back - and to a lesser degree - cornerback as the draft's deepest positions. So what comes next, now that he has five remaining picks?

Ric Serritella of All Access Football and the NFL Draft Bible joined host Paul Dottino on a special morning edition of the Big Blue Breakdown Live to address how the Giants handled the first round and how they may navigate the rest of the draft. Fans also participated via chat, audio or video call.

You have a few holes on the roster to fill, but you own the third pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. You'll likely be able to select a very strong prospect–maybe even an All-Pro caliber player. 

Not so fast.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen has several scenarios to navigate, some of which are wholeheartedly based on what Tennessee and Cleveland do at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, before deciding which path to take.

Schoen has to answer some key internal questions. Does he take a young franchise quarterback high? Or should he grab a young project quarterback later? 

Perhaps he could package some of his later picks and trade up into the bottom of the first round to get one? How early does he address the defensive line, considering the position is assumed to be very deep?

Is it critical for him to invest more heavily in the offensive line, which has gone through many years of rebuilding? Can he add depth at corner and running back?

If those questions aren't enough to give Schoen a headache, he's also trying to figure out how the first two selections will go. It's assumed the Titans will take quarterback Cam Ward, but might they be willing to take a generous offer to move out? 

The Browns will likely take cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter or edge rusher Abdul Carter. If it's Hunter, the Giants must decide if Carter's foot issue knocks him down the board and then determine if it's worth entertaining trade offers for the pick. 

Or maybe they just take the best player available at No. 3, regardless of position, which could mean defensive tackle Mason Graham.

These issues can become a deep pit of quicksand if you don't pull on the right rope, especially after the team is coming off a 3-14 season.

Former Giants linebacker and now radio analyst Jonathan Casillas and long-time distinguished NFL reporter Vic Carucci of SiriusXM NFL Radio discussed these challenges with Big Blue Breakdown host Paul Dottino.
