Giants ‘confident’ at No. 25, but nothing ruled out

Last team to keep the 25th pick: Pittsburgh in 2016 (CB Artie Burns, Miami)

*The Giants currently have 10 selections in next week’s draft, including at least one in all seven rounds:

• Round 1 – No. 25
• Round 2 – No. 57
• Round 3 – No. 89
• Round 4 – No. 128
• Round 5 – No. 160
• Round 5 – No. 172 (Compensatory Selection)
• Round 6 – No. 209 (from Kansas City/Kadarius Toney trade)
• Round 7 – No. 240 (from Baltimore/Ben Bredeson trade)
• Round 7 – No. 243
• Round 7 – No. 254 (Compensatory Selection)

The Giants traded their own sixth-round selection, No. 203 overall, to Houston in the 2021 trade in which they acquired cornerback Keion Crossen. They also sent a special compensatory selection, No. 100 overall, to Las Vegas for tight end Darren Waller. The Giants had acquired the pick from the Chiefs in the Toney trade.

*Schoen fielded questions on numerous topics during his news conference. A sampling:

*On the wide receivers, a position group the Giants are widely reported to be interested in early in the draft:

“It’s a good group of receivers at the top of the draft, depending how you have them ranked,” Schoen said. “Everybody’s got different strengths and weaknesses, and again I think there’s a lot of talented players in the draft.

“(You try to) identify what’s going to separate those guys from the pack and what makes them great. Every year I think there’s 20-plus receivers that are drafted, and how many truly go on to have success, that’s what we’re trying to figure out.”

*When selecting late in the first round, how does he define draft success?

“We like to look at the play time over three years,” Schoen said. “Usually, it’s over three years what their play time is, their contribution, whether they development into a starter; that’s obviously a hit. If they turn into a good starter, that’s good. That’s what you strive for. But there’s also role players and there’s really good special teams players that you value.

“So again, it’s their role. It’s their fit on the team, their contribution over that four-year period. But usually after three years you know if they are a contributor or not and there’s going to be different types of contributions.”

*On adding either a veteran or rookie backup quarterback to join Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor, currently the only players at that position currently under contract.

“I would just say right now we are happy with Tyrod,” Schoen said. “Tyrod is the backup. I think we are in good shape right now.

“We had Davis Webb (as the third quarterback) last year….
