Back in October, the New York Giants decided to increase the depth of their defensive line prior to the trade deadline. They ultimately sent a 2020 third-round pick and a 2021 fifth-round pick to the New York Jets for veteran Leonard Williams. Why was this such a questionable move?
Well, there are a few reasons. For one, you shouldn’t give away future draft picks when you’re a rebuilding franchise, especially to a crosstown rival. Yes, whether fans like it or not, the Giants are indeed rebuilding. Williams’ contract is also expiring.
