In Round 1 (19th overall), the Giants selected Justin Pugh, a tackle from Syracuse. Pugh spent his first five seasons with the Giants before signing a five-year, $44.8 million contract with the Cardinals. He returned to the Giants midseason last year. Over his six years with the Giants, Pugh played in 75 games, all as a starter. His career spans 11 seasons with 132 games and 131 starts. Pugh got married in April 2022 and has been active on YouTube, hinting at plans for life after football. Some Giants fans hope the team re-signs him for the 2024 season, although he is currently a free agent.
In Round 2 (49th overall), the Giants picked Jonathan Hankins, a defensive tackle from Ohio State. Hankins became a starter in his second year and developed into an above-average player. He played all four years of his rookie contract with the Giants, appearing in 52 games with 41 starts, recording 140 tackles, 10 sacks, 19 tackles for loss, and 26 quarterback hits. After leaving the Giants, Hankins played for the Colts, Raiders, and Cowboys. He recently signed with the Seahawks for his 13th NFL season. His career totals include 152 games, 134 starts, 403 tackles, 17.5 sacks, and 50 quarterback hits. He got married in 2023 to a luxury realtor.
In Round 3 (81st overall), the Giants selected Damontre Moore, a defensive end from Texas A&M. Initially expected to be a top-10 pick, Moore's draft stock fell after a poor combine performance. He played nearly three seasons with the Giants, recording 43 tackles and 8.5 sacks in 42 games. His tenure with the Giants ended due to multiple issues, including fights with teammates and immature behavior. Moore became a journeyman, playing for eight NFL teams, one AAF team, and three CFL teams. His NFL career includes 66 games with 11 sacks. Moore is married with two children.
In Round 4 (110th overall), the Giants drafted Ryan Nassib, a quarterback from Syracuse. Nassib was considered a potential successor to Eli Manning but failed to impress. He played five games for the Giants, completing 9 of 10 passes for 128 yards and one touchdown. After leaving the Giants, Nassib spent time with the Saints and Jaguars but never saw the field again. He got married in 2016.
In Round 5 (152nd overall), the Giants chose Cooper Taylor, a defensive back from Richmond. Taylor, the son of former Georgia Tech and Baltimore Colts quarterback Jim Bob Taylor, had his college career disrupted by Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. He played in 16 games for the Giants, recording 15 tackles. Taylor is now an investor at Salem Investment Counci
