The Giants got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Giants spent slot 101 on Jacob Rodriguez, a name the board had a full 63 spots lower.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Mensah pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
So much rides on Kadyn Proctor that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In No. 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Nyck Harbor
In pick No. 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane slipping to Round 2, Pick 3 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Jacas in the 63rd overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
Value said wait; Jacob Rodriguez in slot 101 says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick143
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davison Igbinosun this early at pick 143. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Duce Robinson
Nothing to complain about; Duce Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193
Rnd6
Darian Mensah
Taking Darian Mensah in pick 193 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
