The Giants came into the NFL Draft with two obvious needs: Edge rusher and offensive line. Two of their stronger position groups: Wide receiver and cornerback.
Fittingly, the Giants drafted one edge rusher, wide receiver and cornerback through three rounds, and no offensive linemen. It’s hard to argue with their selections, though, as each of them made sense as targets, especially in terms of their value.

In the NFL, this time of the year is chockfull of subterfuge. Teams are doing their best not to tip their hands about what they will (or want to) do in the NFL Draft, but information gets out. Still, what is real? What is fake?
Some teams leak info to try and muster up trade value for their pick, or to turn other teams off their scent about who they intend on picking. Last year, near the draft a report conveniently leaked that the Giants were meeting with quarterback Justin Herbert. That didn’t amount to anything other than speculation.
