The Giants cashed the board's mistake on Carter: A. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Barrett Carter got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 179. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A.
Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The veteran additions, Rhamondre Stevenson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In No. 22 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
A tidy bit of business in the 34th pick, where Luther Burden III graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick No. 38 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to the 45th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick55
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Jackson in pick 55, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
The board had cheaper options than Omarr Norman-Lott at slot 65, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86
Rnd3
Kyle McCord
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle McCord. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
They will replay Daylen Everette at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at Round 5, Pick 16 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179
Rnd6
Barrett Carter
You do not let a linebacker like Barrett Carter reach pick No. 179 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in No. 219 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 246th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
