FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Giants this weekend: A-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Giants would have aced it. Garrett Dellinger at No. 230 is 62 spots clear of where he belonged. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. That Membou pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
The Giants clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Armand Membou
They read the board right and Armand Membou was the payoff at pick 20. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
They liked Jaxson Dart enough to skip the value, taking him in the 34th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63
Rnd2
Darien Porter
The board had cheaper options than Darien Porter at Round 2, Pick 31, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick85
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at slot 85 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in the 95th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
They went early on Cam Skattebo in slot 99, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
They paid up for Terrance Ferguson at the 105th pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at No. 163. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197
Rnd6
Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at the 219th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
A wild overpay on Jalen Travis in pick No. 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
By-the-book stuff, Teddye Buchanan at pick 251 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
