Not all draft picks work out in the NFL. It’s an unfortunate part of the business. Each team gets seven—one per round—which is what makes them so valuable. The early picks (Days 1 and 2) are the premium ones, which makes it a much tougher pill to swallow when a team misses on one. But it happens... all the time.
The New York Giants found that out the hard way in 2022, when they used a third-round pick on Joshua Ezeudu out of North Carolina. The 6-foot-4, 310-pounder was supposed to be an athletic, versatile lineman who could help shore up the interior, but three years later, things just haven't panned out.
