Victor Cruz hopes the New York Giants draft an outside receiver.

Cruz became a big-play receiver out of the slot when Hakeem Nicks was the bigger threat outside.

“A [big-play receiver] is something we need in this offense to be successful,” Cruz said. “An outside guy that can do the job and that can help fuel all the other receivers in the locker room and put some fire up under them to get them where they have to be.”

Cruz said Mike Evans of Texas A&M could be the type of receiver the Giants need. The Giants select 12th overall and there's a good chance Evans is already off the board by then.
