The Giants did not feel they needed to learn anything more about Daniel Jones. Or Darren Waller.

Or, for that matter, rookie center John Michael Schmitz.

The Giants saw all they needed to see this summer from Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dexter Lawrence.

And, interestingly, there was no plan for any further evaluation of a pair of rookie cornerbacks, Deonte Banks and Tre Hawkins.

Or Jason Pinnock, the 24-year old safety who has been lining up with the starters.

It was clear right away that coach Brian Daboll viewed Saturday night’s preseason finale with the Jets as the final look at a bunch of players on the fringe of the roster.

It was evident that the more snaps a player received in this game, the less likely it is he will be on the roster on Tuesday, when all NFL teams must reduce from 90 to 53 players.

It was readily apparent that Daboll had no care whatsoever that the Jets started Aaron Rodgers in his first preseason action since 2018 or that coach Robert Saleh opted to put his starting offensive and defensive units on the field for a few series in the first quarter.

Daboll did what he felt was best for his own team and opted for safety above all else in a 32-24 preseason-ending loss at MetLife Stadium.

Up next: Figure out who is in and who is out on the roster.

‘There’s work to be done here,’’ Daboll said. “[General manager] Joe [Schoen] and I, the coaches and the scouts will meet and we’ll talk about the things we need to talk about.’’

What this all meant is Jones played only one series in the preseason, a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive last week against the Panthers.

This also meant running back Saquon Barkley did not get off the sideline even once this summer, as Daboll worked Barkley in practice but will wait to have him take a real hit until the real thing, Sept. 10 against the Cowboys.

There was some interesting player usage, though.

There was no way to really know what would happen this summer with Sterling Shepard.

He was coming off reconstructive knee surgery that limited him to three games last season and played in only seven games in 2021 after rupturing his Achilles tendon.

Shepard, 30, was given the start at one wide receiver spot and he also lined up as the punt returner.

Playing time for Shepard in a final preseason game is not common.

He was instructed to call for a fair catch and did so on his one return opportunity. Or did he? He was tackled as soon as he caught the ball by Justin Hardee.

“I don’t even know if I did it,’’ Shepard said. “I was more focused on catching the ball and then [Hardee] tackled me and I was like ‘Dang, I don’t even know if I fair caught it.’ Then I went over to the sideline and the guy said ‘I don’t think you did either.’ ’’

Newly-signed Isaiah Simmons, who arrived on Friday in a trade with the Cardinals, not only was in uniform but he actually started at an inside linebacker spot.

Simmons on the first third down on defense rushed the passer — and actually got good pressure on Rodgers, forcing an errant pass.

Simmons — the No. 8 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft — did not have enough time to learn much of anything in coordinator Wink Martindale’s defense and so sending him forward to go after the passer was the most natural starting point.

“It’s good to give some information to a player that comes in that quick and see how they handle it,’’ Daboll said. “We only gave him a limited role. Wanted to get him out there just to get his feet wet in the defense. He studied hard and he was ready to go.’’

Jihad Ward bumped Rodgers after a pass and the two jawed with each other after the play — Rodgers seemed to take exception to the contact.

It happened again moments later but nothing materialized after that.

Befitting a third and final preseason game, this was a backup-centric situation for the Giants.

A job might not have been won or lost based on what a player did in this last chance to make an impression but it certainly did not hurt anyone who performed at a high level this one final time.

“I think it’s really everything,’’ Daboll said. “It’s tonight but it’s an all-encompassing evaluation of really since they’ve been here. We’ve had a lot of discussions, we’re certainly going to have a lot more.’’

Tommy DeVito, vying for a spot on the practice squad, again showed some moxie after he replaced Tyrod Taylor midway through the first quarter.

DeVito did misfire on a pass intended for David Sills that was intercepted by Brandon Echols and returned 67 yards for a touchdown.

DeVito rallied and completed 19 of 29 passes for 210 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown strike to Davis Sills.
