Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Giants spent pick 105 on Isaiah Nwokobia, a name the board had a full 128 spots lower. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
The whole projection now runs through Ty Simpson; hit there and everything else looks smarter. On value alone, Mauigoa makes the weekend a net positive.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get the face of the franchise, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 37 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah Nwokobia in pick 105 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Chase Roberts in slot 145 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They reached a country mile for Desmond Reid at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Value said wait; Jimmy Rolder in the 192nd overall pick says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Cyrus Allen in No. 193 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
