FutureA+
The Giants let Jacobs fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Giants shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Jacobs pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Graham Barton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Graham Barton in Round 2, Pick 7. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in No. 70; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Good price on Blake Corum in pick No. 82, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at slot 107 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Junior Colson
A tidy little value on Junior Colson in pick 117, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nehemiah Pritchett in the 143rd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
They did well to land Chau Smith-Wade in the 168th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Sam Hartman
A conviction pick on Sam Hartman at pick 171 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jacob Cowing
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 18, with Jacob Cowing worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Curtis Jacobs
Taking Curtis Jacobs in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
