New York Giants news, 5/5: Evan Engram, Davis Webb, Victor Cruz, more

Good morning, New York Giants fans! Let’s start the day with a quick look at the Giants-related headlines.

2017 NFL Draft: Evan Engram plug and play pick for Giants - CBSSports.com

Engram should be a Day 1 starter, not just because he's a first-round draft pick, but because his presence figures to take some of the stress away from receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who saw his 100-yard receiving games drop from eight in 2015 to four last year. Defenses finally found the formula for limiting Beckham's impact, deploying Cover 2 against him that directly contributed to Beckham's average receiving yards per game falling from 96.6 to 85.4. Besides giving the Giants another big receiver for quarterback Eli Manning, Engram also gives the tight end position something it hasn't had in a couple of years: yards after the catch ability. Last year, neither Will Tye or Jerell Adams averaged more than 4.5 yards after the catch; Engram averaged 6.9 yards after the catch over the last three seasons.
