New York Giants

The Giants answered their biggest question with Maye. Grade: B.

Start where it matters. The Giants took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The cost of the Duck reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 6
Drake Maye in Round 1, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 31
Xavier Worthy at pick 37 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · Jack Sawyer · DE-EDGE · rank 65
They took Jack Sawyer at par in slot 61, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 71
Chris Braswell is a better player than the 83rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 87
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in No. 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 95
Christian Haynes at pick No. 92 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 164
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Shipley. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Cade Stover · TE-EDGE · rank 132
Cade Stover at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Ajani Cornelius · OL · rank 183
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ajani Cornelius well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Storm Duck · CB · rank 237
Storm Duck in the 183rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Andrew Raym · C · rank 239
Andrew Raym at Round 7, Pick 1 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
