FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Giants, and a B to prove it. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Giants spent the 170th pick on Hayden Conner, a name the board had a full 43 spots lower. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Taylor. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In slot 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 34, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Ashton Gillotte
A reach on Ashton Gillotte in the 45th pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
They paid up for Jared Ivey at pick 68 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the 76th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
Taking Mason Taylor in Round 4, Pick 15 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
Nice patience on Hollin Pierce, who had no business lasting to pick No. 134. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144
Rnd5
Logan Brown
The board had cheaper options than Logan Brown at slot 144, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 155 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick170
Rnd5
Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172
Rnd5
Addison West
A real head-scratcher, Addison West in No. 172 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Wease Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in the 248th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
