FutureB-
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a D weekend for the Giants. The rest of the league will want that one back. Jackson Powers-Johnson tumbling to the Giants in pick No. 101 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
The Milton III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. With interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jared Verse
They did well to land Jared Verse in No. 16, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick17
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In No. 17 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Somehow Troy Fautanu was still sitting there in pick No. 47, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
The board fumbled Kool-Aid McKinstry all the way to pick 48, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in the 49th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick52
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 52nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick53
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Good price on Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick54
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They jumped the gun on Christian Haynes, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
A reach for Jaylen Wright in Round 3, Pick 3; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent slot 70 on Payton Wilson, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick97
Rnd3
Renardo Green
A reach on Renardo Green in the 97th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Javon Baker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javon Baker in the 100th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They robbed the room for Jackson Powers-Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 108 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at pick No. 117 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Theo Johnson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
You do not let a wide receiver like Johnny Wilson reach No. 160 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Nothing to complain about; Kamal Hadden went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 171 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 178th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Erick All
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Erick All well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194
Rnd6
Mason McCormick
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 194 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
