They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Giants' quarterback, full stop.
Every board in the league had Crumedy lower, and that gap is the story. Getting Beebe where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Value with a capital V on Xavier Legette in No. 47, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Somehow Cooper Beebe was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They will replay Trey Benson at pick No. 107 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Good price on Jarrian Jones in the 141st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They reached a country mile for Jaden Crumedy at pick 183, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
