Robinson was selected 43rd overall, and his deal is much more lucrative than the Giants’ second round pick last year — linebacker Azeez Ojulari.
Ojulari, taken 50th overall, signed a four-year, $6,774,908 deal which included a $2,287,208 signing bonus with $3,255,158 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,693,727.
Second and third round picks — also know as Day 2 selections — are becoming more and more valuable each year. It is rare that teams surrender these picks in trades these days unless in blockbuster-type deals.
