Giants’ 2022 NFL Draft Picks: Who New York Took Each Round

New York has two of the top seven picks in this year’s draft after the organization cleaned house this offseason.

It’s a brand new era in the Meadowlands for the Giants in 2022. The organization cleaned house this offseason when general manager Dave Gettleman retired and coach Joe Judge was fired after just two seasons. 

Former Bills assistant general manager Joe Schoen is now set to bring New York back to competitive relevance and he brought a friend from Buffalo. Former Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was tabbed to be the Giants new coach and both will look to make a big splash in the 2022 NFL draft. 

New York has two of the top seven picks in this year’s draft and will look to fill some significant holes around the team. Frankly, there’s not just one position group that needs to be addressed. The Giants finished last in the NFC East in 2021 at 4–13 and nothing went right for the team—specifically on the offensive side of the ball. 

The offensive line has struggled and Saquon Barkley, the No. 2 pick in the 2018 draft, hasn’t had the same big-play ability he had before his disastrous ACL injury in 2020. And the Giants’ leading receiver was Kenny Golladay, who had just 521 yards for the whole year. 

Needless to say, they need some playmakers and hopefully they’ll find some. Here is how the Giants’ draft has turned out thus far (to be updated during NFL draft):

• Round 1, Pick 5: Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE, Oregon
• Round 1, Pick 7 (from Bears): Evan Neal, OT, Alabama 
• Round 2, Pick 43 (from Falcons): Wan’Dale Robinson, WR, Kentucky
• Round 3, Pick 67: Joshua Ezeudu, OG, North Carolina
• Round 3, Pick 81 (from Dolphins): Cordale Flott, CB, LSU 
• Round 4, Pick 112 (from Bears): Daniel Bellinger, TE, San Diego State
• Round 4, Pick 114 (from Falcons): Dane Belton, S, Iowa 
• Round 5, Pick 146 (from Jets): Micah McFadden, LB, Indiana
• Round 5, Pick 147: D.J. Davidson, DT, Arizona State
• Round 5, Pick 173 (from Chiefs via Ravens): Marcus McKethan, OG, North Carolina
• Round 6, Pick 182: Darrian Beavers, LB, Cincinnati
