The Post’s Paul Schwartz gives his prediction for who the Giants will take with the No. 11 pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft on Thursday night.

Could it be Waddle’s former college teammate, DeVonta Smith, selected here? Absolutely. We will forecast that Smith will be taken in the top 10 picks, though. Waddle is hardly a consolation prize. He is the most explosive offensive player in this draft, a big play waiting to happen whenever he gets his hands on the ball. He’s not as tall, at 5-foot-10, as generally preferred, but he is essentially the same size as Chiefs dynamo Tyreek Hill, so there’s that. The Giants signed towering target Kenny Golladay in free agency, but Waddle adds a different dimension to an offense that lacked any semblance of firepower. Plus, Waddle is an electric kick returner. Cornerback Jaycee Horn is a strong consideration at this spot as well.
