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.
The James pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Reaching for Lloyd left real value on the table behind him.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 6 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They did well to land Jonah Elliss in the 47th pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Mike Sainristil at pick 88 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
MarShawn Lloyd at Round 4, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
DJ James at the 143rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
De'Corian Clark in pick No. 219 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
