FutureC+
The Giants bet the future on Beck. The board says B+. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Walter Nolen, the No. 39 name on the board, stolen at the 102nd overall pick.
They have staked the next five years on Carson Beck, which is the only story that really matters here. Reaching for Vann left real value on the table behind him.
The phones were where this weekend was really won.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Carson Beck
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
Circle this one: Nic Scourton at the 38th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in No. 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
You do not let a wide receiver like Emeka Egbuka reach slot 40 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102
Rnd4
Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at Round 4, Pick 6. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134
Rnd5
Donovan Jackson
Taking Donovan Jackson in the 134th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tonka Hemingway
They read the board right and Tonka Hemingway was the payoff at pick 139. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166
Rnd6
Billy Bowman Jr.
Nice patience on Billy Bowman Jr., who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167
Rnd6
Ricky White
They took Ricky White at par in pick No. 167, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 168th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169
Rnd6
Mason Taylor
A wild overpay on Mason Taylor in Round 6, Pick 9, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174
Rnd6
Jordan James
Value said wait; Jordan James in pick 174 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176
Rnd6
Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in the 176th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177
Rnd6
Francisco Mauigoa
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Francisco Mauigoa in pick No. 177. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick178
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
A straight-up fair deal on Thor Griffith at the 178th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jonathan Mendoza
Jonathan Mendoza at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in slot 189 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204
Rnd7
Roman Hemby
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roman Hemby. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207
Rnd7
Davin Vann
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davin Vann in the Round 7 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208
Rnd7
Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at the 208th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209
Rnd7
Gerald Mincey
They paid sticker price for Gerald Mincey in No. 209, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
