Giants take wide out Shepard, safety Thompson in rounds 2-3 (The Associated Press)

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The New York Giants may have someone to complement Odell Beckham Jr.

The Giants finally turned their attention to the offense after ignoring it in free agency and the opening round of the NFL draft and selected Oklahoma wide receiver Sterling Shepard in the second round on Friday night.

New York, which has missed the playoffs the past four seasons, went back to fixing the NFL's worst defense in the third round, taking Boise State safety Darien Thompson, the all-time Mountain West leader with 19 interceptions.

General manager Jerry Reese said that Shepard is NFL ready, and that Thompson will have a chance to team with Landon Collins, last year's second-round draft pick.
