The steal of the weekend belongs to the Giants and Worthy: D. The Giants lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Worthy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick 6 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
A quiet steal in pick No. 42: Troy Fautanu for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick47
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Nice patience on Emeka Egbuka, who had no business lasting to the 47th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 86th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
A tidy little value on Bucky Irving in slot 99, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101
Rnd4
Audric Estime
A straight-up fair deal on Audric Estime at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 114th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick119
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick No. 119 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143
Rnd5
James Williams
James Williams slid further than he should have, and pick 143 is lovely value for the safety. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in slot 168 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185
Rnd6
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222
Rnd7
Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune is a better player than Round 7, Pick 2 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick236
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
They robbed the room for Sheridan Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240
Rnd7
Cody Schrader
Good price on Cody Schrader in No. 240, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250
Rnd7
Ja'Had Carter
The board had Ja'Had Carter higher than pick 250, and the safety fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
