WR – Darius Slayton

Slayton is unquestionably Jones’ favorite target, and the lone Giants receiver with the kind of speed that can take the top off a defense.

Through eight weeks, Slayton has caught 32 passes for 485 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Chosen in the fifth-round out of Auburn in 2019, Slayton has a strong case for being the best overall choice made by Gettleman in his third draft when you consider talent matching need and value. Slayton is the type of offensive playmaker who will only benefit from adding other game-altering talent around him.
