Overview
- The Giants drafted Miami tackle Francis Mauigoa at No. 10 and plan to start him at right guard next to veteran right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor.
- Eluemunor, who re-signed on a three-year, $39 million deal, told the rookie there is no learning period and that he must prove why he was drafted.
- Francis Mauigoa said Eluemunor reached out after the pick and confirmed the team asked him to play right guard.
- Analysis from ClutchPoints says Mauigoa's arrival increases pressure on Evan Neal's hold on the starting right tackle job as practices ramp up.
- The move fits a draft focused on trench power to protect quarterback Jaxson Dart, with Eluemunor predicting the line can become a top-10 unit.
