The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: D-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Giants did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.
They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here. The Nix pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will need Kneeland to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick No. 13 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In No. 16 they get their guy under center for the next decade, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
JC Latham
In slot 17 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in pick 39 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 8, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick50
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kamari Lassiter in the 62nd overall pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A conviction pick on Marshawn Kneeland at the 70th pick that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84
Rnd3
Bo Nix
Bo Nix in the 84th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 93rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while tight end keeps waiting.
Pick97
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Payton Wilson, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick98
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in Round 4, Pick 8 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in slot 120, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They did well to land Tyler Davis in pick 121, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
A slide stopped in slot 125, with Andru Phillips worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
A reach for Brennan Jackson in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185
Rnd6
Isaac Guerendo
They let Isaac Guerendo come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 10. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
