FutureC
The Giants fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. There is reaching, and then there is Aaron Lewis at pick No. 246. The Giants jumped the board by 52 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
They banked enough surplus on Wiley to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The veteran additions, Roquan Smith chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 32 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
They let Jordan Morgan come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 8. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Taking Tyler Nubin in the 47th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A quiet steal in slot 50: Xavier Legette for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
You do not let a cornerback like Ennis Rakestraw Jr. reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89
Rnd3
Trey Benson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Benson in pick 89. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 92nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 97 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
Nice patience on Marist Liufau, who had no business lasting to slot 100. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick107
Rnd4
Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler slipping to No. 107 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
Circle this one: Roman Wilson at Round 4, Pick 15 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ray Davis
A slide stopped in the 125th overall pick, with Ray Davis worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 126 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine is a better player than the 135th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 7 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Somehow Dallin Holker was still sitting there in No. 163, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick172
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
The board had Braelon Allen higher than pick 172, and the running back fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173
Rnd5
Eric Watts
They liked Eric Watts enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 173. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in slot 185 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd6
Javon Baker
They will replay Javon Baker at the 219th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223
Rnd7
Omar Speights
Omar Speights at pick 223 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick238
Rnd7
Michael Wiley
Michael Wiley in Round 7, Pick 18 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246
Rnd7
Aaron Lewis
A wild overpay on Aaron Lewis in No. 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
