The New York Giants wrapped up the 2022 season on Monday with year-end press conferences from general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.
Multiple topics were discussed throughout the dual presser, including Schoen’s take on the 2022 NFL draft class — an 11-player group that contributed heavily throughout the year.
As a reminder, here’s a look at each of those picks:
- Round 1: No. 5 – Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE, Oregon
- Round 1: No. 7 (from CHI) – Evan Neal, OT, Alabama
- Round 2: No. 43 (from ATL) – Wan’Dale Robinson, WR, Kentucky
- Round 3: No. 67 – Joshua Ezeudu, G, North Carolina
- Round 3: No. 81 (from MIA) – Cor’Dale Flott, CB, LSU
- Round 4: No. 112 (from CHI) – Daniel Bellinger, TE, San Diego State
- Round 4: No. 114 – Dane Belton, S, Iowa
- Round 5: No. 146 (from NYJ) – Micah McFadden, LB, Indiana
- Round 5: No. 147 – D.J. Davidson, DT, Arizona State
- Round 5: No. 173 (from KC via BAL) – Marcus McKethan, G, North Carolina
- Round 6: No. 182 – Darrian Beavers, LB, Cincinnati
Although many of these rookies played significant roles, injuries were the theme. All missed time over the course of the 17-game season with the exception of linebacker Micah McFadden.
Some missed the entire season.
Here’s what Schoen had to say about each member of his first-ever draft class.
