The Giants are squarely in evaluation mode, first for NFL free agency and even more so for the upcoming NFL Draft, the annual three-day event that begins April 27 this year. They have a total of nine draft picks — one in the first round (25th overall), one in the second round, two in the third round, one apiece in rounds 4-6 and two in the seventh round. They could gain two additional selections after the supplemental draft pick formula is finalized.
Before we move ahead, it is constructive to look back and review Joe Schoen’s first draft class as Giants general manager. He added 11 players in the 2022 NFL Draft. Some hit, some missed and several went down with injuries before anyone gained much of a sense for what they could do.
Here is a breakdown of the 2022 rookie class.
