Unfortunately, solid in April will not translate into anything tangible until at least September for the New York Giants. There are many ways to view this Giants draft. For example, some players are penciled in as immediate contributors, while others are projects. Can a player be an immediate contributor and a project?
Sure he can.
In this draft, I look at first-round selection Evan Engram that way. Engram will get a fair amount of offensive snaps this season. I also expect him to become a better player over time. The 2017 version of Engram will likely just scratch the surface of his ability.
