NY Giants’ 53-man roster prediction: How many spots up for grabs in NFL Draft?
Wide receivers (6):
Kenny Golladay, Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton, John Ross, Dante Pettis, David Sills
Outside looking in: C.J. Board, Austin Mack, Derrick Dillon, Alex Bachman.
Arguably the most improved position on the roster, thanks to Golladay’s arrival as Jones’ first legitimate No. 1 wide receiver, this is a group that could get even stronger during the NFL Draft.
There is a feeling among NFL scouts around the league the Dave Gettleman has sights set on Alabama’s DeVonta Smith with the No. 11 overall pick.
Likewise, if a playmaker like Jaylen Waddle is available, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Gettleman add another field-stretcher to Jones’ supporting cast, as the organization is all-in on surrounding him with as much talent as possible at the skill positions to make a true evaluation of him this season.
Even without adding a rookie, Golladay, Slayton, Shepard, and Ross are the most talented and deep receiving corps the NY Giants have fielded in several seasons.
