The Giants fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Giants took Aaron Lewis at Round 7, Pick 21, roughly 57 spots before his name belonged. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.
The James pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
The Giants indulged a want in Trotter Jr. while a need in interior defensive lineman stayed open.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 20 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
They barely believed it either: Nate Wiggins still on the board at No. 39. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slid further than he should have, and the 49th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
You do not let a safety like Tyler Nubin reach the 52nd pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Tavion Sanders went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Edgerrin Cooper worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in slot 76 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A tidy bit of business in pick 82, where Brenden Rice graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 92nd overall pick on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. with interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick109
Rnd4
D.J. James
They will replay D.J. James at the 109th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in Round 4, Pick 10 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick No. 112 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117
Rnd4
Ray Davis
They let Ray Davis come to them and pounced at No. 117. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Roman Wilson in pick No. 125, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 129 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Nice patience on Javon Foster, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
The board had Jordan Travis higher than No. 144, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They paid a round early for Joe Milton III in the 153rd pick, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Austin Booker
No edge and no loss on Austin Booker in Round 5, Pick 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
A safety of that caliber at slot 166 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Circle this one: Jaylin Simpson at the 185th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190
Rnd6
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 190th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick No. 219 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241
Rnd7
Aaron Lewis
Value said wait; Aaron Lewis in slot 241 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250
Rnd7
Blake Watson
Blake Watson at the 250th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
