Mbow was selected with the 154th overall pick out of Purdue and signed a four-year contract worth $4.167 million, including $417 thousand in guaranteed money. The Giants have said that Mbow will start at offensive tackle — he played right tackle last year for Purdue — though he may yet move inside.
Fidone’s four-year contract is worth $4.349 million with $149 thousand guaranteed. He’ll make $877 thousand as a rookie (per Spotrac), and likely slot in behind Theo Johnson and Daniel Bellinger this year. Fidone has dealt with a pair of torn ACLs, but he’s athletic and offers upside as a blocker and receiver.
Finally, Korie Black’s contract as the 246th overall pick is a four-year deal worth $4.304 million with $104 thousand guaranteed. Black is a long and explosively athletic cornerback, who could wind up being a steal at $866 thousand for his rookie year.
