Giants land Mauigoa at No. 10, signaling guard-to-tackle plan to fortify the line
The New York Giants used their No. 10 pick (via a trade with Cincinnati) to select Miami OL Francis Mauigoa with their second first-round selection, after taking Arvell Reese at No. 5. Mauigoa, a durable three-year starter, is projected as a guard who could move to right tackle, bringing strength, balance and football IQ but with questions about arm length and foot speed. Analysts applaud his ceiling while noting technique tweaks are needed. The pick aims to bolster Jaxson Dart’s protection; the Giants may address Dexter Lawrence’s shoes later in the draft or free agency as they build the line across multiple rounds.
