FutureB-
The Giants bet the future on Williams. The board says D-. The Anim Dankwah selection is the head-turner. The Giants reached 50 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
The Laube pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The veteran additions, Zack Moss chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the 9th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
The board had Rome Odunze higher than slot 19, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick30
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Dallas Turner
They barely believed it either: Dallas Turner still on the board at pick No. 47. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonathon Brooks at pick 59. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at No. 60 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton at the 68th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
A conviction pick on Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 69 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They went early on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick 71, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A tidy little value on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 72, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in Round 3, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 88th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106
Rnd4
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107
Rnd4
Trey Benson
Somehow Trey Benson was still sitting there in pick No. 107, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 112 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115
Rnd4
Maason Smith
They did well to land Maason Smith in No. 115, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick No. 127 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128
Rnd4
Spencer Rattler
Value with a capital V on Spencer Rattler in the 128th overall pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Good price on Theo Johnson in the 129th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
A reach for Anthony Gould in Round 4, Pick 30; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146
Rnd5
Tyler Davis
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Tyler Davis reach slot 146 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
They read the board right and Mohamed Kamara was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 157 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
The board had cheaper options than Kamal Hadden at the 158th pick, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
They took Walter Rouse at par in pick 159, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165
Rnd5
Caedan Wallace
They reached into another round for Caedan Wallace, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167
Rnd5
Steele Chambers
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Steele Chambers well ahead of where he belonged. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick173
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at No. 173. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jacob Cowing
Circle this one: Jacob Cowing at Round 6, Pick 2 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cody Schrader in the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182
Rnd6
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183
Rnd6
Justin Eboigbe
Taking Justin Eboigbe in the 183rd pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick184
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
A real head-scratcher, Ryan Flournoy in Round 6, Pick 9 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick No. 218 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick221
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
They paid up for Trevin Wallace at the 221st overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nathaniel Watson in pick 227. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick228
Rnd7
Anim Dankwah
A big swing on Anim Dankwah at No. 228, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230
Rnd7
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson in slot 230 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232
Rnd7
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in Round 7, Pick 12 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250
Rnd7
Bub Means
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Bub Means. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
