The 2020 NFL Draft has officially come and gone, and the New York Giants ultimately stayed in place and used all 10 of their picks, including each of their four in Round 7.
The team was very specific and deliberate in their approach, focusing all of their attention on the offensive line, secondary and linebackers.
At the conclusion of the draft, general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Joe Judge held a video conference with reporters via Zoom. Here are 10 things we learned.
Trades almost went down
As noted above, the Giants stood pat with all 10 of their picks, but a few trades almost went down. One of which came in Round 2, where the team had intended to trade down had safety Xavier McKinney not been available.
#Giants #Gettleman on possible trades – "there were calls … but I don't believe in overpaying"…said a couple of times there was a chance to move back, the player they wanted was sitting there, so they took the player
