New York Giants GM Dave Gettleman hopes to strike first-round gold again

Excitement and intrigue surround the New York Giants and their two first-round selections heading into the NFL Draft.

Last year, general manager Dave Gettleman struck gold when he took running back Saquon Barkley with the second overall pick. Barkley would go on to win Offensive Rookie of the Year and set numerous franchise rookie records.

However, Barkley’s success hasn’t been the norm in recent years for the Giants when it comes to their first-round draft picks.

One of the main reasons the Giants have missed the playoffs in six of the last seven years is their first-round picks haven’t lived up to the hype.
