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 Council.

In Round 7 (225th overall), the Giants picked Eric Herman, an offensive lineman from Ohio. Herman never played in an NFL regular-season game but spent time on several practice squads. He was suspended for four games in 2014 for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy. He last played for the Colts' practice squad in 2016.

In Round 7 (253rd overall), the Giants selected Michael Cox, a running back from Massachusetts. Cox played two seasons with the Giants, rushing 26 times for 76 yards and catching five passes for 21 yards. His career ended due to a failed ankle surgery, leading to a lawsuit that awarded him $28.5 million in 2022.

2012 Giants Draft Class

Round 1 (32nd): David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech
The Giants originally wanted Doug Martin, but the Bucs traded ahead of them to select him 31st overall. David Wilson's career, unfortunately, is a story of what could have been, as a neck injury ended a promising start.

Round 2 (63rd): Reuben Randle, WR, LSU
Randle played four seasons with the Giants, amassing 938 yards in 2014 and eight touchdowns in 2015. Despite his production, he faced issues such as being benched twice in 2014 for being late to meetings.

Round 3 (94th): Jayron Hosley, DB, Virginia Tech
Hosley played four seasons with the Giants, primarily as a right-side corner. His career was hampered by a series of minor injuries and a significant concussion.

Round 4 (127th): Adrien Robinson, TE, Cincinnati
Dubbed by Jerry Reese as "the JPP of Tight Ends," Robinson had just 29 catches in four seasons in college but impressed with his workout. He spent three seasons with the Giants but saw minimal action in the first two years.

Round 4 (131st): Brandon Mosley, Tackle, Auburn
Mosley initially played at Coffeyville Community College as a defensive end and tight end before converting to tackle at Auburn, where he started at right tackle for two seasons. He played two seasons with the Giants, appearing in 22 games with one start.

Round 6 (201st): Matt McCants, Tackle, Alabama-Birmingham
McCants spent his rookie year on the Giants' practice squad and was cut in 2013.

Round 7 (239th): Markus Kuhn, DT, North Carolina State
Born and raised in Germany, Kuhn learned about football while on vacation in Florida. He played for the Weinheim Longhorns in Germany before joining NC State.

2012 Draft Overall
This draft class was highly disappointing for the Giants. David Wilson showed promise but was derailed by a neck injury, making the pick a poor return on investment. Reuben Randle was the best pick in the draft but was let go despite the Giants' need at receiver.
