Throwback Thursday: A look back at the 2005 New York Giants draft class

Error 0:

Despite having four picks, Ernie Accorsi was able to draft three players who had pivotal roles on multiple New York Giants Super Bowl teams.

During the 2004 NFL Draft, the New York Giants executed a trade that sent Philip Rivers, a 2004 third-round pick, and two 2005 draft picks (first round and fifth round) to San Diego for Eli Manning. As a result, the Giants were left with only four picks in the 2005 draft.

Having only four selections is a daunting task for a general manager trying to build a championship team.
