For the seventh time in the past eight seasons, the New York Giants will not make the postseason.
Several factors such as poor coaching, a lack of talent and lackluster free-agent signings have caused the Giants to struggle of late but poor drafting has also factored in.
While some of New York’s recent first-round draft selections have panned out, others have not. Let’s go back to 2012 when the Giants’ run of mediocrity began and see if they made the right decisions with their first-round draft choice.
- The Pick: David Wilson, RB Virginia Tech (32)
- Redraft: Mitchell Schwartz, OT California
Coming off their Super Bowl 46 victory over the New England Patriots, the Giants took speedy running back David Wilson from Virginia Tech with the 32nd overall selection of the 2012 NFL Draft.
