The Giants found the tight end they needed, adding a pass-catching threat.
With the 23rd pick, they took Ole Miss tight end Evan Engram.
Engram had 65 catches for 926 yards and eight touchdowns last year, and is practically a slot receiver.
His 4.42-second 40-yard dash at the combine was the fastest at his position, and he gives fellow Ole Miss man Eli Manning another attractive option downfield.
