Analysts review New York Giants draft success since 2016

The New York Giants have struggled to maintain a consistent roster core since 2017, leading to a long-term examination of the team's draft performance. Using weighted Approximate Value metrics, the team's draft output shows significant variance across three different general manager tenures. While drafts in 2019 and 2020 provided key contributors such as Dexter Lawrence and Andrew Thomas, other years failed to produce long-term talent., the 2021 class currently has no active players on an NFL roster five years after the draft took place. The franchise continues to evaluate its selection process following the expiration of that class and the transition to current general manager Joe Schoen. The analysis highlights how specific draft-day decisions, including missed opportunities for elite prospects and high-profile trades, have impacted the team's ability to maintain a competitive lineup.
