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. It nets out a thoroughly average C.
The Mims steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
If Drake Maye and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Malik Nabers is a better player than slot 13 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Amarius Mims in pick No. 70 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Caelen Carson slid further than he should have, and the 111th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Isaac Guerendo slipping to pick 141 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They read the board right and Malik Mustapha was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 8. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 185 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A quiet steal in the 257th overall pick: Josh Proctor for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
