Are the Giants deep enough at wide receiver?
1970: The Giants land Ron Johnson in a deal for Homer Jones
In the late 1960s, there wasn’t much for New York Giant fans to cheer about. The team fell out of contention after the 1963 season and could only muster two 7-7 seasons before the decade came to a close.
The top 25 Giants draft picks of the 20th Century (in no particular order)
THE 12TH DIMENSION
ROUND TWO Xavier McKinney • S • Alabama
The beauty, well, perhaps the term “curse” is more appropriate, of a team who has missed the playoffs in seven of the last eight years, is that it’s almost impossible to guess what direction the team will go when it comes to the NFL Draft. It was abundantly clear that the Giants needed a facelift on the offensive line as well as impact players on the defensive side of the ball. But an edge rusher or two was thought to be the priority, not safety.

ROUND THREE Matt Peart • OT • Connecticut
The Giants added their second offensive tackle of the draft when they selected UConn’s Matt Peart in the third round. General manager Dave Gettleman decided to go all in on fixing the offensive line, as he used three of his first five picks on men who will hopefully be protecting Daniel Jones and opening holes for Saquon Barkley for years to come.
ROUND ONE Andrew Thomas • OT • Georgia
Well, we finally have our answer, TGI Nation. After weeks and even months of speculation, our question was finally answered. Dave Gettleman avoided the “shiny new toy” in Clemson’s Isaiah Simmons and drafted a “Hog Molly” who will eventually (God willing) protect Daniel Jones’ blind side for the next ten to fifteen years.
ROUND FOUR Darnay Holmes • CB • UCLA
The Giants added another young player to their secondary when they selected UCLA cornerback Darnay Holmes in the fourth round of the draft. General manager Dave Gettleman is proving that he recognizes the importance of rebuilding this unit by bringing in young players.
ROUND FIVE Shane Lemieux • G • Oregon
The Giants want to get back to some consistency on the offensive line and the addition of Lemieux is a sure sign of that as he started all 52 games at Oregon at left guard.
Ourlads' Giants draft analysis
Year three of the Dave Gettleman-engineered drafts presented the second time he was building a roster for a first-time NFL head coach. This time, his efforts were influenced by Joe Judge and his young staff filled with current college program connections. The culture this regime is looking to build centers around intangibles including but are not limited to intelligence, passion for the game, hard work, and availability. Let’s take a look at what the Giants did in all seven rounds that produced a total of ten picks.

Jones Shining Through Dark Season
Very few experts and fans expected the New York Giants to select Duke quarterback Daniel Jones with the sixth overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft. But there he was, up on the stage in Nashville donning the Giants’ cap and hugging the commissioner.
