I think the Giants did pretty well in the draft, they brought in some pretty good guys who are going to push us and make us work even harder around here.
It’s good and it’s bad, because it makes you work harder, but also, some guys are going to have to go and that’s just the [...]

According to the Daily News, the Giants have invited UNC safety Trimane Goddard for a tryout.

The Giants have assigned draft picks to their draftees, except Hakeem Nicks:
LB Clint Sintim: #97
OT William Beatty: #65
WR Ramses Barden: #13
TE Travis Beckum: #47
RB Andre Brown: #22
QB Rhett Bomar: #5
CB DeAndre Wright: #26
CB Stoney Woodson: #29
Mathias Kiwanuka swtiched to 94, which is why Sintim has 97.

The Giants have been given a rookie pool number of $4,867,462. That’s the maximum cap space they’re allowed to use to sign their draft picks.
Of course, they don’t have to use all of it. But they still probably need to create a little more cap room for themselves. Teams always want/need to have a reserve [...]

UPDATE: (5:29 EST) Jeremy Fuchs here. That was fast. According to Matt Mosely, Sumrall failed his physical, and was waived.  Sumrall was a Giant for about six hours.

From Mike Garafolo:
The Giants said they didn’t trade up in the first round of this past weekend’s draft because they didn’t want to reach for a wide receiver.
It turns out they were closer to reaching — and to a different player — than they let on.
Before drafting North Carolina’s Hakeem Nicks with their own pick [...]
