As a result of sanctions imposed on the Giants’ improper use of walkie-talkies during a Sunday night game against the Cowboys last December, the team’s fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft will drop 10 spots to No. 140 overall.
The NFL on Friday announced the list of compensatory draft picks awarded to teams that experienced a net loss of free agents last season, and the Giants now will pick after the final compensatory pick in the fourth round. The Browns are now at 139 overall and the Giants at 140, the final pick of the fourth round.
The NFL found the Giants guilty of skirting the rules by using walkie-talkies after the team’s headsets went out in the second half of their Week 15 game against the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium.
