FutureB-
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a D-, for the Giants. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Giants shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
J.J. McCarthy is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The cost of the Jones reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Guerendo.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick 18 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future, though they paid up to get him.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Bo Nix
No edge and no loss on Bo Nix in the 32nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick47
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Worthy a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A conviction pick on Malachi Corley at slot 49 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
They barely believed it either: Kool-Aid McKinstry still on the board at No. 62. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They will replay Cooper Beebe at pick No. 70 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Taking Edgerrin Cooper in the 73rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in pick No. 74 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
They did well to land Jaylen Wright in slot 75, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Austin Booker
They took Austin Booker at par in Round 3, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Renardo Green
By-the-book stuff, Renardo Green at pick 77 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 78th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Michael Hall Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107
Rnd4
Trey Benson
They robbed the room for Trey Benson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They paid up for Theo Johnson at pick 108 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the 120th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Circle this one: Zak Zinter at pick No. 129 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Value with a capital V on Blake Fisher in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at slot 138 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 5 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
A real head-scratcher, Fabien Lovett in pick 161 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169
Rnd5
Trente Jones
They reached a country mile for Trente Jones at the 169th overall pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Isaac Guerendo in No. 171, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick No. 172 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
They paid a round early for Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 8, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
