New York Giants: Rookie EDGE Azeez Ojulari should have day-one impact

The New York Giants landed one of the biggest steals of the 2021 NFL Draft when they selected Georgia edge rusher Azeez Ojulari in the second round. The Giants traded down from 42 overall to 50 overall and were still able to select Azeez despite his first-round draft projection. Some analysts even mocked him to the Giants at eleven overall.

Giants fans were ecstatic when Ojulari’s name was called with the 50th pick in the draft. Azeez Ojulari was a prospect with legitimate first-round talent. For the Giants, to land Ojulari and an extra third-round 2022 draft pick, made their day-two trade down one of incredible value.
