FutureB
The Giants robbed the room for Blue. Final grade: B+. The Giants did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jaydon Blue fell into No. 219.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The veteran additions, Frank Ragnow 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
Pick28
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In No. 31 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A slide stopped in the 44th pick, with Jihaad Campbell worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick45
Rnd2
Grey Zabel
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Grey Zabel at pick No. 45 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 49th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Value with a capital V on Xavier Watts in pick 51, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
Nothing to complain about; TreVeyon Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at slot 57, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jayden Higgins went about where he belonged in the 58th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 59: Harold Fannin Jr. for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart is a better player than slot 61 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63
Rnd2
Darien Porter
A reach for Darien Porter in the 63rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick64
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A conviction pick on Tate Ratledge at pick 64 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
They did well to land Carson Schwesinger in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick81
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A reach on Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 17; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
They jumped the gun on Jalen Milroe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Quincy Riley in the 154th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jaydon Blue
They barely believed it either: Jaydon Blue still on the board at No. 219. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
Taking Luke Lachey in slot 239 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244
Rnd7
R.J. Mickens
Steal is underselling it; R.J. Mickens at pick No. 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
The board fumbled Craig Woodson all the way to the 246th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
