The Giants cashed the board's mistake on Ayomanor: A-. You build a draft on nights like this. Elic Ayomanor had no business being available in pick 130, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Job largely done: safety settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Bottom line, with James Pearce Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jalen Milroe
A clean, defensible pick in No. 37 with a little surplus value in Jalen Milroe. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Evan Stewart
They barely believed it either: Evan Stewart still on the board at pick No. 38. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jabbar Muhammad
They read the board right and Jabbar Muhammad was the payoff at pick 41. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Rod Moore
Rod Moore at slot 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98
Rnd4
Tory Horton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tory Horton reach the 98th pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at the 102nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
No edge and no loss on Tyler Baron in pick 109; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
The board had Trey Zuhn III higher than slot 120, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130
Rnd5
Elic Ayomanor
Circle this one: Elic Ayomanor at the 130th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134
Rnd5
Cameron Ward
They robbed the room for Cameron Ward here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 137 is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick144
Rnd5
Gavin Bartholomew
Good price on Gavin Bartholomew in the 144th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165
Rnd6
Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson slipping to No. 165 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166
Rnd6
Marques Cox
Marques Cox in pick No. 166 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169
Rnd6
Billy Bowman Jr.
A tidy little value on Billy Bowman Jr. in the 169th pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd6
Jalen Travis
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Travis at pick 170, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184
Rnd6
Aubrey Burks
Aubrey Burks at slot 184 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196
Rnd7
Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. in No. 196 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick198
Rnd7
Justin Walley
Taking Justin Walley in the 198th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216
Rnd7
Jaleel Skinner
They let Jaleel Skinner come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219
Rnd7
Kyle McCord
Nothing to complain about; Kyle McCord went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
