Nobody knew what Farhan Zaidi and his new front office would do in this year’s draft. Zaidi himself has only been on the job for a little less than seven months and the Giants’ director of amateur scouting, Michael Holmes, just shy of six months, working with some of their own people but largely with long-time Giants scouts and front office personnel. And so the past three days of the 2019 draft came about very much the result of work done on the fly.
