The 2021 NFL Draft’s first round has come and gone, and boy was it a great night.
Not only did the Jets trade up from No. 23 to 14 to draft USC offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker and provide protection for No. 2 pick Zach Wilson, but the Giants traded back from No. 11 to 20, garnered extra draft capital (including a 2022 first-rounder), and acquired a highly talented wide receiver in Kadarius Toney.
The three picks among the pair of local teams were all superb, but Thursday has turned to Friday, and thus the attention turns to the second and third rounds on Day 2.
