TheNew York Giantsstayed aggressive during Day 2 of the NFL Draft.After starting the night with only one scheduled pick, the Giants executed a bold trade to secure Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields.
Head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Joe Schoen traded back into the third round to snag Fields at No.74 overall.To move up, the Giants sent their fourth-round pick (No.105), fifth-round pick (No.145), and a 2027 fourth-rounder to the Cleveland Browns.
Fields brings massive frame and vertical ability to the offense.The 6-foot-4, 218-pound receiver averaged 17.5 yards per catch last season.He provides a large target for quarterbackJaxson Dartand fills the void left by free agent departures like Wan’Dale Robinson.
