The steal of the weekend belongs to the Giants and Puni: A. The Giants did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dominick Puni fell into the 143rd overall pick.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Brian Thomas Jr. and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. is a better player than No. 36 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
They read the board right and Troy Fautanu was the payoff at the 39th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in slot 47 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy slipping to Round 2, Pick 21 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
D.J. James
D.J. James at pick No. 70 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102
Rnd4
Malachi Corley
You do not let a wide receiver like Malachi Corley reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
They did well to land Blake Fisher in the 107th pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143
Rnd5
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick 143 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
Taking Cole Bishop in slot 150 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.
Pick185
Rnd6
Braelon Allen
They will replay Braelon Allen at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
