It is the question which has dominated headlines over the past month, headlines which might otherwise have been about the club's winless season.
Tom Boyd is a 199cm/102kg marking forward who is the standout player of this year's draft pool. He is strong and physically ready, has excellent foot skills, and is a dedicated teenager intent on making the most of his chance.
But if the Giants don't need another tall forward there are other draft prospects who will take their eye.
South Australian Matt Scharenberg can play in the midfield, across half-back and even up forward and is rated by many recruiters in the top three players of the draft.
The Giants might look at Jack Billings, who is a half-forward who marks above his head and kicks goals. Billings has been an under-18 All Australian the last two years.
Skilled midfielders James Aish and Josh Kelly are also in the equation if the club wants to add class to its midfield.
