FutureB
The Giants kept it disciplined and banked a B-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Giants would have aced it. Elijhah Badger at the 218th pick is 77 spots clear of where he belonged. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 3rd overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at slot 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at pick 65 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
A big swing on Jackson Slater at the 118th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached a country mile for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 120, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in Round 5, Pick 16 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
A real head-scratcher, Elijhah Badger in Round 7, Pick 2 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219
Rnd7
Kyren Lacy
They reached into another round for Kyren Lacy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Teddye Buchanan this early at pick No. 228. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Travis well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in the 246th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
