MaddiReif DRAFTING FOR THEGiants

FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Giants to a C-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Giants took Dante Dowdell at Round 6, Pick 3, roughly 47 spots before his name belonged.
The Chiles value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52
Rnd2
Antonio Williams
Value with a capital V on Antonio Williams in pick No. 52, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64
Rnd2
Christen Miller
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Christen Miller reach the 64th pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65
Rnd3
R Mason Thomas
They talked themselves into R Mason Thomas at No. 65, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in Round 3, Pick 20 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Logan Jones
They took Logan Jones at par in slot 90, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at the 101st overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
By-the-book stuff, Oscar Delp at Round 4, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Antonio Kite
No drama and no debate, Antonio Kite went about where he belonged in pick No. 140. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179
Rnd6
Dante Dowdell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dante Dowdell. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187
Rnd6
Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233
Rnd7
Aidan Chiles
The board fumbled Aidan Chiles all the way to No. 233, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
