When the New York Giants moved back with the Chicago Bears to the 20th overall pick, most thought they might targeting an offensive lineman to solve their vacant right guard spot. However, the Giants, while passing on a lineman, still added an offensive playmaker to help quarterback Daniel Jones in 2021.
Jones threw just 11 touchdown passes in his second season, less than half of what he accrued in 2019 with Pat Shurmur as his head coach.
The Giants landed Kadarius Toney with the 20th overall pick acquired from Chicago, and while some might see this as a “reach,” other executives around the NFL believe he’s one of the top playmakers in this draft class.
