Here is a 2021 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the New York Giants:

Round 1 (No. 20 overall, from Bears) - Kadarius Toney, WR, Florida: GM Dave Gettleman trades down for the first time in his nine drafts as an NFL GM and picks up a 2022 first-rounder and Toney, who was a nightmare out of the slot for the Gators in his senior year – exploding for 70 catches and 984 yards with 10 TDs. Toney should be effective alongside TE Evan Engram and newly signed WR Kenny Golladay as Gettleman surrounds third-year QB Daniel Jones with weapons. Draft tracker

Round 2 (50, from Dolphins) - Azeez Ojulari, DE/LB, Georgia: He led the SEC with 8½ sacks in 2020 and was so well respected that he was named a team captain as a freshman. Can man the edge in odd or even fronts. The Giants didn't have a five-sack performance from any of their edge players in 2020. Draft tracker

Round 3 (71, from Broncos) - Aaron Robinson, CB, Central Florida: New York continues building out secondary depth even after signing Adoree' Jackson in free agency. Robinson, who started out at Alabama, only intercepted one pass in four seasons. Draft tracker

Round 4 (116) - Elerson Smith, LB, Northern Iowa

Round 6 (196) - Gary Brightwell, RB, Arizona

Round 6 (201, from Cardinals) - Rodarius Williams, CB, Oklahoma State
