They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Giants' quarterback, full stop. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On value alone, Jackson makes the weekend a net positive.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Johnny Wilson at the 37th overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Nice patience on Kris Jenkins, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 5. It fills a real need, too.
A reach on Tate Ratledge in slot 105; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Khyree Jackson at pick 142 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Michael Barrett at No. 183 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
