The New York Giants have won two Super Bowls in the past 10 seasons. See some fun facts about the Giants' draft dealings, and below that, check out a comprehensive table of every Giants draft pick since 2006 and those players' high school alma maters.

* The Giants have not selected higher than No. 9 in the NFL Draft since 2006, taking Ereck Flowers in that spot in 2015.

* Of the 10 first round picks the Giants have made since 2006, three have come from Florida: Flowers, who attended Norland (Miami), Jason-Pierre Paul from Deerfield Beach (Fla.) and Kenny Phillips from Carol City (Miami).



* The Giants have drafted one player from New York in the past 10 years, taking Jay Bromley from Flushing in 2014.

* The Giants have selected nine players from Florida in the past 10 drafts, the most of any state.

* The Giants have chosen two players from Carol City High School - Phillips and Sinorice Moss.

* Syracuse, USC, Miami and East Carolina have each had three players chosen by the Giants over the past 10 seasons.

* New York's highest draft pick since 1990 never played for the Giants. Phillip Rivers was chosen No. 4 overall in 2004, but was traded to the Chargers for No. 1 overall pick Eli Manning.

* Ahmad Bradshaw from Graham (Bluefield, Va.), the leading rusher in both of the Giants' Super Bowl wins in 2008 and 2012, was drafted in the seventh round, No. 250 overall.



* High school all-American and five-time Pro Bowl linebacker Jessie Armstead of Carter (Dallas) was drafted in the eighth round of the 1993 draft, due mainly to a knee injury he sustained in college.

* 2008 Super Bowl hero David Tyree was a sixth round draft pick in 2003. He played at Montclair (N.J.), the winningest all-time program in state history.
