The New York Giants selected Kentucky wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson with their second round pick, 43rd overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
There wasn’t as much widespread celebration following this pick as there had been on Thursday night during round 1, presumably because most Giants fans simply don’t know much about the undersized playmaker.
The NFL’s Twitter account called him “the Barry Sanders of youth football.” However, it appears as though Giants fans and analysts on Twitter are pretty split over this pick. A lot of folks out there like Robinson while a sizable proportion clearly voiced their displeasure.
Didn’t see the Wan’Dale pick coming tbh

Another undersized WR. Explosive, good 4.44 speed
Great 2021 season, can do a ton of different things. Historically bad arm length and wingspan for a WR, but dynamic nonetheless
Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll must have loved Robinson's Iowa tape

All 3 of these catches are on the final drive that helped Kentucky defeat the Hawkeyes
He showed toughness through contact, elusiveness, and great COD ability

Sometimes you have to ignore the measurables and just look at the tape. Wandale Robinson is a outright baller. He’s a certified playmaker where ever you like him up.

I just remember watching Wandale Robinson’s tape before the LSU game and circling his name like 100 times

But some fans weren’t as impressed with the pick.

The Giants selecting Wandale Robinson is one of the worst picks of the draft so far.

I like wandale Robinson but it’s just bad value at 43…
— Matt Cantasano (@MattCantasano) April 30, 2022
WanDale is like, a 4th rounder to me.

With Pickens and Moore on the board, going Robinson is pretty inexcusable, imo.
For everyone freaking out about Wandale Robinson pick - I guarantee everyone in Buffalo was like who the hell is Dawson Knox (0TD in College!) and Gabriel Davis!?!? Guess what - Schoen and Daboll know talent & how they want to use them. Let's trust them for now.
