Giants select Jalin Hyatt: Here’s how Twitter reacted

For the second time in this year’s draft, the New York Giants traded up. First, they moved up one spot in the first round to select cornerback Deonte Banks.

After picking center John Michael Schmitz 57th overall, the Giants jumped up to pick No. 73 to select wide receiver Jalin Hyatt out of the University of Tennessee.

The Giants sent the 89th overall pick and the 128th overall pick to the Los Angeles Rams to move up to 73 to get Daniel Jones a speedster to add to his arsenal of weapons.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the pick:

The Giants grab Tennessee WR Jalin Hyatt with the 73rd overall pick. Speed, speed, speed for a team that couldn't produce big plays last season.

The #Giants had top-30 visits with all three of their first selections.

Add Darius Slayton and Daniel Bellinger. With our new center. This offense is starting to look good, I tell you. Thoughts? pic.twitter.com/yMRtEHX80K

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS!! So happy they waited on Hyatt and didn't force the need. The way the WR room is set up Hyatt won't be overly relied upon. Very excited

On some boards/for some evaluators, the #Giants scooped up three of the top-50 players overall. And some even had all three picks in their top-32.
They did it despite picking 25th to start every round prior to the draft. This is NO DOUBT an incredibly exciting #NFLDraft for them.
