After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Giants committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 6 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Keon Coleman in slot 39 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A conviction pick on Kingsley Suamataia at No. 47 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A tidy little value on Max Melton in pick No. 69, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Blake Fisher at the 70th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Fair-plus on McKinnley Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in Round 5, Pick 4, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jha'Quan Jackson in the 182nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
