The New York Giants have been open and honest when it comes to their draft strategy for Thursday's NFL Draft, with GM Joe Schoen lending some great insight in last week's pre-draft press conference. 

So while all positions are being evaluated appropriately, the wide receiver position is the one that needs the most addressing, as Giants fans know all too well. But the class lacks the size and speed thresholds that most of the best receivers in the NFL have. 

NFL Network's Chad Reuter just finished his full, seven-round mock draft for 2023, and he had one of the best fits for the Giants at 25. Before we dive in, I'll give you a hint. What he lacks in size, he makes up for in speed.

Here is my full evaluation of the deep threat from Tennessee:
One Liner:
An incredible speed demon that lacks a well-rounded game and NFL physique.

Evaluation:
Easy easy gas. Steps on the pedal and hits zero to 60 in an instant with crazy acceleration and special deep speed. His suddenness is better than you think. Displays an ability to learn and become a better route runner.

High cut with spindly limbs. Seldom faces press and has tons of free releases and receiver-friendly alignments Purely vertical in his route tree with few out routes, posts, or in-breakers.

Summary:
Hyatt is far from a perfect receiver but his pure acceleration and long speed are the best in the class. If he can get in an NFL weight room and learn a more diverse route tree, he can be a significant contributor to a franchise. 

Here was Reuter's reasoning behind the Giants taking Hyatt at 25:
Daniel Jones gets a downfield weapon in Hyatt, who can work outside or slide inside, depending on how the Giants want to utilize him.

I would have to agree with Reuter on the usage of Hyatt, as his vertical dimension will stress defenses both out-wide and from the slot. Alignment versatility is deadly in the modern NFL, as it creates mismatches to expose defenses. 

Hyatt is likely to still be around at 25, given his 39th overall positioning on the current consensus board and with team's leery of both his lean frame and translatable skillset. 

But in the NFL, sometimes one trick is all you need, evident by the player I comped Hyatt to, Mike Wallace. And there's reason to believe that Hyatt can and will improve as he adds weight and learns the nuance of route running. 

What you can't teach is game-breaking speed, however, making Hyatt a reasonable selection given the current positioning of the Giants.
