Offensive lineman? Edge rusher? Receiver? Something else?
We ll find out in a mere few weeks which player and position the New York Giants are planning to select n the first round of this year s draft, and we ll, of course, keep our fingers crossed that whoever the player is, he turns out to become a long-time fixture at whatever position he plays.
So until we get to that unveiling, let s take a quick look back at the Giants first-round picks from 2011-18, a group that, on the whole, has been rather uninspiring, though which has begun to perk of toward the end of the time range.

The New York Giants trade down in the first round?
Hey, there’s a first time for everything, and ESPN’s draft analyst Todd McShay offers up a bold prediction type of scenario for the Giants in the first round of this month’s draft.
McShay projects the Giants and Patriots engaging in a trade by where New England, at No. 15, moves up to the Giants’ spot at No. 11, and the Giants drop to No. 15 (it’s unclear what the rest of the trade entailed).
The NFL reduced it s team salary cap 8% from $198.2 million in 2020 to to $182.5 million for the upcoming 2021 season. This means teams will need to make some tough decisions to get under the cap. 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.
