Whether or not you like the players that the New York Giants selected in the 2021 NFL Draft or not, they made some very good trades throughout draft weekend.
ESPN’s Seth Walder ranked all of the trades made during the draft, including the Giants’ moves. The top trade in his rankings was New York moving from 11 to 20 and accumulating a 5th round pick for 2021 and a 1st and 4th round pick for 2022.
The trade: Bears receive pick No. 11; Giants receive picks Nos. 20 and 164, 2022 first-round and fourth-round picks
The value winner: Giants
Surplus value: First-round pickLet me start off by saying that trades are not a zero-sum game and this deal is a perfect example: It’s a win-win.
