Round 1 of the 2021 NFL Draft was filled with drama and intrigue in Cleveland. We already knew who the Jacksonville Jaguars were going to take at one with the New York Jets locked in at two.

The New York Giants made a big cut today and when I say big I mean 330 pounds of offensive lineman. Kevin Zietler is no longer a member of the Giants and neither is the $12 million they save by releasing the big man. ESPN New York Giants insider Jordan Ranaan broke the story and has more moves he thinks the Giants will need to make to get under the cap and field a team.
