Doesn’t mean they get it, or close to it, or even trade OBJ. But they have asked for at least two first-round picks.
The Giants have not publicly backed Beckham or denied the trade rumors, further signaling that Beckham will likely be dealt. Despite their asking price, Schefter believes New York is so willing to deal their best wideout that he'll eventually be dealt for a first- and either third- or fourth-round pick.
Just now on NFL Live, @AdamSchefter just predicted that Odell Beckham Jr WILL be traded for a 1st and 3rd or 4th round pick.

Beckham is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is seeking a long-term extension worth around $100 million, which the Giants are very hesitant about giving him due to a number of off-field incidents.
Beckham also is reportedly willing to hold out if he and the Giants are unable to agree on a contract extension. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday that OBJ "will not set foot on a field" until an extension is in place. He will make $8.5 million in 2018.
The 25-year-old caught 25 passes for 302 yards and three touchdowns in four games last season.
