The New York Giants were involved in probably the biggest transaction in the 2021 NFL Draft, striking a trade with the Chicago Bears that saw the Bears choose their quarterback of the future in Justin Fields. With the Giants picking up an extra first-round selection next year (along with other compensation), they ended up moving down from 11th to 20th overall, extracting great value out of their trade down.
Coming out of the draft with only six prospects, the Giants are heavily relying on their current roster construction to produce better than what their 6-10 record was last season. Having only been one game out of winning the division in a dreadful year for the NFC East, the Giants were picking highly in each round to add solid talent to their roster in each round.
