The 2022 NFL draft has come and gone and the postmortems are pouring in. Now comes the analyses of which players landed in the right spots.
Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport recently published a piece to help point out some of those mismatches, one of which is New York Giants’ second-round pick, Kentucky wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson.
The Giants, who entered the second round still needing help at linebacker, in the secondary and at tight end, traded back twice from No. 36 down to No. 43 and then selected Robinson as if they knew he would still be there. There’s a good reason for that. Everyone knew Robinson — a projected Day 3 pick by many — would still be on the board.
