FutureB-
The Giants worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The real work happened on the phones. The Giants fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.
They banked enough surplus on Raridon to cover a lot of smaller sins. The cost of the Elliott reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Brian Thomas Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In pick No. 5 they get a centerfielder for the defense. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Chris Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145
Rnd5
Eli Raridon
Steal is underselling it; Eli Raridon at the 145th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186
Rnd6
Febechi Nwaiwu
A slide stopped in the 186th overall pick, with Febechi Nwaiwu worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick192
Rnd6
Matt Gulbin
They let Matt Gulbin come to them and pounced at No. 192. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193
Rnd6
Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott at slot 193 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
