Giants GM Joe Schoen has two weeks before the Nov 10 trade deadline but limited mid‑round picks after losing its 2027 fourth‑ and fifth‑rounders. The article urges him to target an affordable defensive‑line rotation player rather than a high‑profile acquisition, emphasizing depth as injuries mount ahead of games vs. Philadelphia and Washington.
