Surely the New York Giants were going to select an offensive lineman in Round 3 of the 2021 NFL Draft. Right? That’s what most Giants followers had to be thinking after the Giants went wide receiver (Kadarius Toney) and then edge rusher (Azeez Ojulari) in the first two rounds.
Offensive line, more protection for quarterback Daniel Jones, had to be the plan in the third round. Then, Trader Dave Gettleman struck. The Giants moved up from pick No. 76 overall to pick No. 71 ... and the pick wasn’t an offensive lineman.
It was UCF cornerback Aaron Robinson.
