The New York Giants bolstered their wide receiver group just over two weeks prior to the 2024 NFL Draft. With the draft approaching, the Giants are actively considering enhancements to their passing game. In particular, they are in need of assistance at both the wide receiver and quarterback positions.
With the sixth overall pick in the draft, the Giants have the flexibility to address either position. They have strategically expanded their roster with additions at both spots, ensuring versatility in their first-round draft strategy. Notably, the Giants secured former Denver Broncos starting quarterback Drew Lock, who will vie for the QB1 position.
The Baltimore Ravens selected the former standout from Notre Dame in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He spent the 2022-23 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Throughout his five-year NFL career, Boykin has started in 25 games, tallying 38 receptions for 498 yards and seven touchdowns.
Last season, Boykin caught three passes for 17 yards. While he may not assume the role of WR1 for the Giants, he will offer valuable depth for the team’s quarterback, whoever that may be in the upcoming season. Boykin is accustomed to playing in offenses that emphasize the running game.
Upon hearing the news, initial reactions from Giants fans were mixed.
