The Giants spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The McGlothern value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Good price on Kamren Kinchens in the 70th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They took Javon Foster at par in No. 118, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A tidy little value on Roger Rosengarten in slot 141, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Circle this one: Dwight McGlothern at the 179th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Cody Schrader is a better player than pick 183 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
