Like a thriving Atlantic City casino, the Giants just keep adding slots.
The retooling of the receiver corps to increase inside/outside versatility led to one-year free agent contracts for Parris Campbell, Jamison Crowder and Sterling Shepard, all of whom have played at least 61 percent of their career snaps in the slot, according to Pro Football Focus.
Wan’Dale Robinson adds to the crowd.
Yet it won’t be a surprise if the long-term-thinking Giants use their first-round pick (No. 25 overall) in the draft on another human slot machine.
Ohio State’s Jaxon-Smith Njigba, Boston College’s Zay Flowers and USC’s Jordan Addison all fit the bill. TCU’s Quentin Johnston is the outlier.
“We’ve gotten spoiled the last three years,” ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said. “We have 3-4 guys each year that you are already looking at as Pro Bowlers, future Pro Bowlers and maybe some Hall of Famers. This class, to me, doesn’t have a true top-10 [pick] receiver.”
McShay expects a first-round run on pass-catchers to begin any time after pick No. 15.
That scenario could put pressure on general manager Joe Schoen, who holds seven picks in the fourth round or later, to be aggressive for a receiver.
The market rate to trade up a few spots from No. 25 is a fourth-rounder and maybe a sixth.
“I think at least one will be available at No. 25 — it’s probably going to be Addison — but I don’t know that it will be more than one,” McShay said.
The Post asked McShay for a scouting report on each of the top four receivers in his rankings:
Smith-Njigba: Coming off an injury-shortened three-game season, the former 1,600-yard receiver is “average” by most size (6-foot-1, 196 pounds) and speed measurements, per McShay.
But Smith-Njigba’s times in the 20-yard shuttle (3.93 seconds) and (6.57 seconds) were tops among receivers at the NFL combine.
“It’s what he can do in the short area to uncover so quickly,” McShay said. “You don’t have a guy who is going to beat you on a ton of 50/50 balls, but he does have strong hands. You don’t have a guy who is going to flat-out outrun you.

“His football instincts and his quickness getting in and out of breaks and being able to [get open] with subtle moves and sharp-cutting moves is what separates him.”
Flowers: The ability to produce 78 catches for 1,077 yards and 12 touchdowns as a one-man offense can’t be ignored.
There’s “not a big gap,” between Smith-Njigba and Flowers (5-9, 182), McShay said.
“Everything he does is full throttle — practice, meetings, game days,” McShay said. “Everyone knew the ball was going to him. That says a lot about his competitiveness and his ability to uncover.”
McShay said Flowers has added more than 10 pounds since weighing in at the combine.
“He’s taking it really seriously,” he said. “He’s added a lot of bulk and strength which I think will help his game, especially getting off the press [coverage].”
Johnston: In a traditional team-building sense, the Giants would target Johnston (6-3, 208) as an “X” receiver for balance.
Add a 40.5-inch vertical leap and 33 ⁵/₈-inch arms to this skyscraper.
“You are gambling more on his potential than on where he is in terms of development,” McShay said. “A big receiver who can outmuscle some guys when the ball is in the air … but he doesn’t always high-point the ball, so he’s not using his length as much as he can. Making that first defender miss and his size to run over some defensive backs in the open field and gain 5-7 yards at the end of the play is what makes him kind of unique.”
Addison: One clear point of emphasis during the Giants’ offseason was improved team speed.
Addison (5-11, 173) fits the mold with a 4.49-second 40-yard dash.
“He’s got deep speed,” McShay said. “He tracks the ball beautifully. When the ball is in the air, his ability to adjust to it and run under it with that second gear. I know he’s undersized, but I just like his agility. He’s just a really confident pass-catcher who can track it on all three levels.
“I think you are getting a really good player who is never going to be a No. 1 but can be a solid No. 2 or great No. 3.”
