Last year, when the New York Giants traded back in the 2021 NFL draft, the move gave Big Blue some extra draft capital. Most notably, they acquired a 2022 first-round pick from the Chicago Bears, who ended up selecting quarterback Justin Fields in the Giants’ original spot.
Going into the 2021 season, neither the Bears nor the Giants had high expectations. Many believed they would be among the NFL’s worst teams, leaving New York with two top-10 picks.
That turned out to be the case.
