Why did the Giants draft Kadarius Toney?

After trading down from No. 11 to No. 20 in the 2021 NFL Draft, a surprising and uncharacteristic move for the New York Giants, they made another surprising move. Rather than an edge rusher, offensive lineman or cornerback, they used that 20th overall pick on wide receiver Kadarius Toney?

Why did the Giants do that?

To finish the job they started in free agency, that’s why. What job is that? Improving the play-making weaponry around third-year quarterback Daniel Jones in an effort to add juice to an offense that ranked 31st in the NFL a season ago.
