Sometimes you can have everything.

When the Giants, way back when, took Odell Beckham Jr. in the first round of the 2014 draft, that was their belief.

OBJ could pretty much do everything required of a wide receiver. 

When the Giants in 2024 selected Malik Nabers with the No. 6 overall pick, the feeling was the same.

We have a player capable of imposing all sorts of problems on anyone who has to deal with him.

Not all picks are the same, and not all wide receivers are created equal. 

The Giants were determined to come out of this draft with another weapon for Jaxson Dart.

Their free agent signings at wide receiver were designed to fill in blanks on the depth chart, hoping Nabers will return to form following ACL surgery and take his place at the top of the heap.

The Giants did not see Jordyn Tyson or Carnell Tate — the top two receivers in this class — as worthy of the No. 5 overall pick.

Both were gone when the Giants were on the clock again at No. 10.

At No. 37, the Giants stuck with their draft board valuation and selected cornerback Colton Hood. 

With no third-round pick, the Giants knew if they waited until their pick in the fourth round (No. 105), they would not be able to land a receiver who they felt could make a difference and offer Dart something different as a target.

And so, they traded their fourth- and fifth-round picks this year and a fourth-round pick in 2027 to move up to No. 74, where they put the card in for Malachi Fields from Notre Dame.

That represents a healthy expenditure to get him.

“It definitely does mean more,’’ Fields said Saturday. “They took a chance on me, trading up, investing in me like that. I want to prove them right.’’

Fields’ production was decent but not overwhelming at Virginia (113 receptions for 1,619 yards and 10 touchdowns combined over his past two years) and his stats in his one season for the Fighting Irish (36-630, 5 TDs) were fine but nothing special.

His clocked time in the 40-yard dash of 4.61 seconds was pedestrian.

So, why Malachi Fields?

“Tremendous catch radius,’’ general manager Joe Schoen said. “That’s invaluable for a young quarterback.’’

Dart, 22, remains a young quarterback — he turns 23 on May 13 — and having a player capable of turning imperfect throws into catches and first downs would be a welcome addition to the passing attack.

What stands out with Fields is how he stands out at 6-foot-4 and 218 pounds.

He is a big guy and he plays that way.

“The idea of being basically, a player is never covered,’’ coach John Harbaugh said. “You throw the ball to him, he’s going to find a way to make the play around the defender. He’s got reach. He can outreach whoever’s covering him. He’s got great hands. He’s a contested type of receiver. You’ve seen those guys in the league for a lot of years make a lot of plays.’’

Harbaugh won one Super Bowl with the Ravens and knows Anquan Boldin helped bring that Lombardi Trophy to Baltimore with a “my ball’’ mentality.

When a pass was in the air, Boldin — not overly tall but a great leaper — believed it was always his to catch, and he played with a strong physical presence. A jump ball was his ball. 

“The ability to do that, being a big dude and playing big, is something special,’’ Fields said.

Perhaps Fields can bring some of that to a receiving corps led by Nabers and followed by a bunch of lesser performers.

Darius Slayton is back for an eighth season with the Giants and Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III were signed in free agency to one-year deals.

Wan’Dale Robinson, the leading Giants receiver in 2025, signed with the Titans.

Harbaugh believes tight end Isaiah Likely, brought in from the Ravens, can be a factor in the slot.

Fields brings a dimension of size at wide receiver that separates him from the pack.

“We’re almost like, ‘build a basketball team,’ we talk about,’’ Schoen said. “You got your power forward now.’’

Harbaugh said the Giants had a second-round grade on Fields and does not buy into Fields being too slow to make a real impact, claiming he “tracks a lot faster’’ than his timed speed. 

“He’s also got the ability to stop, drop his weight, change direction, get out of breaks,’’ Harbaugh said. “You see all that.’’

Fields says watch him on the field and you will see someone who plays faster than his 40 time. The Giants want him to run as fast, of course, but mainly need him to come down with everything thrown in the vicinity of his large catch radius.
