The 2021 wide receiver class has some big shoes to fill. Both the 2019 and 2020 receiver classes were both excellent, with remarkable talent at the top and great depth throughout.
The New York Giants largely bypassed both of those receiver classes, but they likely can’t afford to do so again. Their offense — and passing offense in particular — was a liability which held the team back from winning the division and could continue to hold the team back if it isn’t addressed.
While teams might want to have the chance to select from the prospects at the top of the draft class, they should always expect the unexpected in the draft.
