The Giants robbed the room for Smith-Wade. Final grade: B+. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Giants were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Smith-Wade. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Kaden Elliss gives the group a proven body among the projects.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick No. 8 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.J. McCarthy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 47th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 52nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70
Rnd3
D.J. James
Fair-plus on D.J. James, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick107
Rnd4
Beau Brade
A straight-up fair deal on Beau Brade at slot 107, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the 143rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at pick No. 145 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Circle this one: Chau Smith-Wade at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
No drama and no debate, Brevyn Spann-Ford went about where he belonged in No. 216. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
They did well to land Darius Muasau in the 221st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
