When looking back to the 2018 NFL Draft, the New York Giants came away with one of the better hauls of the year. Players like Saquon Barkley, B.J. Hill and Lorenzo Carter top the list of quality starters that were snagged.
General manager Dave Gettleman seemed to follow a simple rule in regard to drafting well and establishing a solid foundation for the future of the organization.
What is the simple rule?
Don’t reach. Every pick that Gettleman spent last season was as safe as it gets, no risks or fliers on skill-positions. We’ve seen Jerry Reese make optimistic picks on players like Eli Apple and Evan Engram in the past, but no more.
