Giants Draft War: Is Taking a Running Back at No. 5 Insane?
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Tue Mar 17 2026
Description: The episode turns into a full-blown showdown over one question Giants fans can’t stop arguing about: would drafting a running back at No. 5 be a smart move or a major roster-building mistake? What starts as a draft conversation becomes a bigger debate about positional value, team-building philosophy, and whether blanket rules like “never take a running back in the top 10” ignore the reality of a team’s actual situation. The hosts clash over the Giants’ roster, Jaxson Dart’s development, the state of the offensive line, and whether adding a player like Jeremiah Love would elevate the offense or repeat past mistakes from the Saquon Barkley era. Along the way, callers weigh in, comparisons fly to stars like Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffrey, and Terrell Davis, and the discussion expands into whether the Giants are finally in a position to draft the best player available instead of reaching out of desperation.
