The 2019 NFL Draft presented a rare situation for the New York Giants. For the first time since the 1984 draft, the Giants had multiple first round picks; and just like the season that preceded the ‘84 draft, the team was struggling, had a new head coach, and a roster that was very young.
Does this sound familiar to you? Fast forward to the 2019 offseason and you’ll see a team that ostensibly seemed in dysfunction. Damon “Snacks” Harrison was traded to the Detroit Lions for a fifth-round selection, a three-time Pro-Bowl safety was allowed to walk in free agency, the team seemed obstinate about the facts of their aging quarterback, and the mega-star wide receiver was traded for Jabrill Peppers, the 17th, and the 95th selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.
