ValueB- NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Giants: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Giants walked out of the weekend still thin at safety, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If Montgomery pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 David Stone
In slot 5 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luke Montgomery
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke Montgomery a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
