The Giants found their guy under center in Nix: D. When a board-topper like Jaylin Simpson slides to Round 6, Pick 39, you do not overthink it, and the Giants did not. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Bo Nix is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Every board in the league had Milton III lower, and that gap is the story.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 7th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick 18 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In slot 23 they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot.
Pick32
Rnd1
Bo Nix
No drama and no debate, Bo Nix went about where he belonged in No. 32. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jer'Zhan Newton
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jer'Zhan Newton reach pick No. 49 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu in the 70th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick 106 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141
Rnd5
Audric Estime
Audric Estime at Round 5, Pick 5 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the 146th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 183 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221
Rnd7
M.J. Devonshire
They barely believed it either: M.J. Devonshire still on the board at the 221st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Somehow Steele Chambers was still sitting there in slot 222, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Magee went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Trey Knox
No edge and no loss on Trey Knox in the 224th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227
Rnd7
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at No. 227 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229
Rnd7
KT Leveston
A conviction pick on KT Leveston at pick 229 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237
Rnd7
Cornelius Johnson
Circle this one: Cornelius Johnson at pick 237 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
