With the free agency frenzy now in the rear-view mirror and April just around the bend, it’s time to begin looking ahead (and back) at the NFL Draft, its impact and what it could mean for teams in 2020 and beyond.
While there will be weeks of coverage ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft, we here at Giants Wire decided to kick off draft season with a look back at the New York Giants’ best draft picks by round since 2000.
Here they are in reverse order:
Round 7: Ahmad Bradshaw (2007)
Bradshaw is far and away the Giants’ best seventh-round pick since 2000. Unless, of course, you wanted us to tab Matt Dodge or Bobby Hart for this position. No? Didn’t think so.
Bradshaw immediately took the Giants by storm in 2007 and helped propel them to a Super Bowl XLII title (and later, a Super Bowl XLVI title).
In total, Bradshaw spent seven seasons with the Giants and then three more with the Indianapolis Colts before retiring following the 2015 season.
In 103 career games, Bradshaw gained 4,928 yards and scored 36 touchdowns, adding an additional 1,493 yards and 12 touchdowns through the air.
