Let us get one thing straight right away: Marc Ross no longer has any say whatsoever with the Giants. He ran the NFL draft preparation for the Giants for more than a decade but was fired on December 31st, one of the first moves made by new general manager Dave Gettleman.
All season, though, Ross scouted college players for the Giants as their vice president of player evaluation and, once the losses piled up, Ross was instructed by former general manager Jerry Reese to pay attention to the quarterback prospects. If he was still with the Giants and involved in the decision-making process, it sure sounds as if he would be endorsing Baker Mayfield as worthy of the No.
