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.
However the rest shakes out, Arnold at that price is a win they earned. They will need Tupuola-Fetui to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 5 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Keon Coleman at slot 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Graham Barton reach Round 2, Pick 22 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Circle this one: Terrion Arnold at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A conviction pick on Donovan Jackson at pick 105 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A reach for Cole Bishop in the 142nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Tupuola-Fetui. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
