The Giants have signed their first-round pick, tight end Evan Engram, according to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY (on Twitter). The team’s entire six-player draft class is now under contract.
Engram, whom the Giants chose 23rd overall, played the previous four years at Ole Miss, where he combined for 162 receptions and 15 touchdowns. He pulled in career highs in catches (65), yards (926) and scores (eight) last year en route to First-Team All-America honors and a high selection in the draft. Now, the field-stretching Engram (6-foot-3, 234 pounds) should take over as the Giants’ top tight end, supplanting Will Tye, who caught 48 passes for a paltry 8.2 yards per reception last season.
Here’s a refresher on the rest of Big Blue’s picks:
- 2-55: Dalvin Tomlinson, DT (Alabama)
- 3-87: Davis Webb, QB (California)
- 4-140: Wayne Gallman, RB (Clemson)
- 5-167: Avery Moss, DE (Youngstown State)
- 6-200: Adam Bisnowaty, T (Pittsburgh)
Glad we got that resolved
