After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Giants committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Horton. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 5 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Keon Coleman at slot 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Fair-plus on Cooper Beebe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Jack Sawyer in No. 69 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tory Horton at the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Guyton. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A straight-up fair deal on Steve Linton at the 183rd pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
