Big Blue View mailbag: Bryce Ford-Wheaton, draft questions, cap management, more

Spring is turning to summer, but football seems ever-present. So, let’s open the Big Blue View Mailbag and see what New York Giants questions we can answer.

sjcomic asks: I’m confused by the Banks pick.

I do like Banks and I respect the talent evaluation of Wink and the Giants.

But at the same time Joey Porter Jr. was also available. even if the Giants didn’t get Banks with 24, they could have had Porter. And many had him ranked higher than Banks.

I’ll be interested to see if switching picks and moving up to get Banks was worth the two fifth-round picks it cost to switch. Especially with the holes they still need to fill

Would the Giants have been better off not trading up the one slot?
