2022 NFL Draft: How big a need for the Giants is wide receiver?

Wide receiver is perhaps a bigger need for the New York Giants than we have previously acknowledged. Despite signing Kenny Golladay to a free-agent mega-contract and drafting Kadarius Toney in Round 1, the 2021 Giants had arguably the least productive group of wide receivers in the NFL.

Giants’ wide receivers caught only 5 touchdown passes the entire season. Darius Slayton (2) was the only wide receiver with more than one touchdown reception. There were 31 wide receivers in the NFL who caught at least 6 touchdown passes.

Neither Golladay nor Toney caught a single touchdown pass.
