Over the last three days, the Giants made two trades to move up and got three players general manager Joe Schoen feels have a shot at starting right away.
"You never know how it's going to fall," Schoen said."We went through a million scenarios and didn't know who was going to be there."
Banks, who was taken with the 24th pick overall after a deal with Jacksonville to move up one spot, is a physical, shutdown cornerback who could play opposite Adoree Jackson.The need for a center developed after Jon Feliciano and Nick Gates were lost this spring to free agency. Schmitz fit the bill after a long career with the Gophers that was extended by the COVID-19 season.
Quarterback Daniel Jones, who signed a four-year, $160 million contract after last season, has not had a deep threat since joining the Giants as the No. 6 pick overall in 2019. Oklahoma running back Eric Gray was taken in the fifth round, Old Dominion cornerback Tre Hawkins III was grabbed in the sixth, and Oregon defensive tackle Jordon Riley and Houston safety Gervarrius Owens were chosen in the seventh.
