The NY Giants left NFL Draft weekend with six new players, and two additional picks in the 2022 NFL Draft, with several players potentially in the mix to start as rookies.
General manager Dave Gettleman deserves high marks for the 2021 NFL Draft, both in terms of maneuvering up and down the board while bolstering the NY Giants’ draft capital, and seemingly finding value-impact players throughout the weekend.
Here are projected roles for each of the NY Giants’ draft picks:
Round 1: Kadarius Toney
Role: Potential starting slot receiver
Toney‘s speed and ability to be a playmaker after the catch is best deployed from the slot, which could be bad news for NY Giants receiver Sterling Shepard.
