How many draft picks do the NY Giants have?
The New York Giants have the 11th overall choice and six total picks in the 2021 NFL Draft. Giants' owner John Mara said after the season that he wants his team to "add quality players to our roster." With that in mind, here's a look at how many draft choices the Giants have over the next two seasons. In 2019, the Giants had the 11th pick in the draft. They used it on Dexter Lawrence, a defensive end from Notre Dame. The expectation is that Lawrence will be a long-term answer at one of the outside linebacker positions. If he performs well in his rookie year, the Giants may even let him play some defense closer to the line of scrimmage. In 2020, the Giants will have the 11th pick in the draft again. This time, they could use it on anyone other than Lawrence due to the fact that he'll be playing early on in the season. The hope is that if another player gets drafted by another team, they'll want to trade up for him. That way, the Giants would still get them but wouldn't have to give up their original choice.
