You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Giants did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The whole projection now runs through Drake Maye; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Morgan pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 6
They took Drake Maye at par in pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 46
A conviction pick on Jordan Morgan at the 37th overall pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 53
A straight-up fair deal on Brandon Dorlus at Round 2, Pick 22, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
