Takeaways From the Draft

By adding Malik Nabers in the first round, the Giants may have found their Justin Jefferson or Ja’Marr Chase. Like his fellow LSU wide receivers, Nabers is known for his incredible playmaking ability and will undoubtedly give the Giants and Daniel Jones a boost at a position they needed to upgrade.

The Giants also helped solidify their secondary on day two and added some depth at running back with the addition of Tracy Jr., who can come in and make a splash as a kick returner while also competing for time in the backfield with Devin Singletary and Eric Gray.

For fans keeping an eye on the future, the addition of these promising athletes might shift the New York Giants Football Odds as they bring fresh talent and new dynamics to the team.
