Eli Manning hasn’t ventured in to get a peek at the Giants’ draft board and the quarterback admits he’s not intrusive when it comes to making suggestions, saying "I don’t get too involved with the process and giving my opinion, ‘Hey, draft this guy, draft that guy.’ "

He does have opinions, though, and he shared one of them Monday night with The Post. Acknowledging the talent drain with the losses in free agency of Mario Manningham and Brandon Jacobs and the serious injuries to tight ends Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum, Manning is thinking offensive skill player is a smart way to go early and often in this week’s NFL Draft.
