Reese and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, who went No. 3 to the Cardinals, were the top non-quarterbacks on the Giants’ draft board. Mauigoa was in the next tier along with Tate, Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles and Ohio State safety Caleb Downs, according to league sources.
LSU cornerback Monsoor Delane, Styles, Tyson and Utah offensive lineman Spencer Fano went in the four picks between the Giants’ two top-10 picks. If the draft played out in the same way in this alternate universe, the 10th pick would have been Tate or Downs.
