How can the team improve through the draft?

Luckily for The NY Giants, this is another STACKED rookie receiver class in 2021.

Big names such as Ja’Marr Chase (LSU), and the deadly duo from the Crimson Tide consisting of Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith lead this talented class. All three offer ridiculous combinations of speed, skill, and the ability to make plays both at the catching point and make plays after the catch. All three players could be targets for NY in Round 1.

Adding a high-end receiver in Round 1 could pay immense dividends for the Giants’ entire offense and specifically Daniel Jones. Jones needs better options on the outside to throw to and adding an elite talent at wide receiver wouldn’t be the worst idea for NY. All three of these players would immediately upgrade the catching options on this team and would greatly improve the team’s need for speed and ability to make tough, contested catches in traffic as well.
