Should the Giants Draft a Running Back at No. 5? The Debate Erupts | Evan & Tiki

The show dives headfirst into a fiery Giants draft debate: should New York seriously consider taking a running back at No. 5, or is that still a roster-building mistake in today’s NFL? The conversation centers on whether the usual anti-running back logic is too simplistic, especially for a Giants team that may be closer to contention than critics think. From Saquon Barkley comparisons to examples like Bijan Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, and Jahmyr Gibbs, the episode examines how context matters when judging top-10 running back picks. The hosts argue over Jaxson Dart’s development, the state of the Giants’ offensive line, the team’s limited draft capital, and whether adding another weapon would be smart strategy or a repeat of past mistakes, with side mentions of Mikal Bridges, Mike Brown, and the World Baseball Classic final.
