The biggest negative reaction to the New York Giants’ 2024 draft by fans wasn’t that they were unable to move up for Drake Maye. It wasn’t that they chose Malik Nabers over J.J. McCarthy. It wasn’t that they did not draft a developmental quarterback on Day 3.
Rather, much of the angst was over the Giants’ failure to take offensive lineman Christian Mahogany or interior defensive lineman Khristian Boyd in Round 5 or 6. I’ll admit to being surprised by that myself.
There must have been reasons why the Giants passed on offensive and defensive linemen on Day 3.
