FutureB-
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a D- weekend for the Giants. The tape said wait; the Giants did not. Caedan Wallace went at Round 5, Pick 21, a good 56 picks before the board was ready.
Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
That Murphy pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In No. 16 they get a passer to set the clock by at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick17
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 17th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 1, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Graham Barton
They will replay Graham Barton at the 47th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Fair-plus on Kris Jenkins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cade Stover
No drama and no debate, Cade Stover went about where he belonged in pick No. 70. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73
Rnd3
Amarius Mims
Circle this one: Amarius Mims at the 73rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94
Rnd3
Austin Booker
The board had Austin Booker higher than slot 94, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95
Rnd3
Max Melton
The board fumbled Max Melton all the way to Round 3, Pick 32, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Bishop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brenden Rice at the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They paid a round early for Theo Johnson in pick 108, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in No. 109 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128
Rnd4
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 128th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in pick 129, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
They paid up for Anthony Gould at pick No. 134 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
They reached a country mile for Kamal Hadden at Round 5, Pick 5, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Gabriel Murphy
They barely believed it either: Gabriel Murphy still on the board at slot 144. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Steele Chambers
They talked themselves into Steele Chambers at the 153rd pick, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick157
Rnd5
Caedan Wallace
A real head-scratcher, Caedan Wallace in No. 157 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Davis at slot 158, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160
Rnd5
Trente Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trente Jones. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at Round 5, Pick 31 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179
Rnd6
AJ Barner
They let AJ Barner come to them and pounced at the 179th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183
Rnd6
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at pick No. 183 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in pick 214 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 220 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 221 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick227
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Johnny Dixon in pick 227, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 229 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242
Rnd7
Anim Dankwah
Anim Dankwah at No. 242 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
