FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Giants for Bassa: B+. Thirty-one other rooms let Jeffrey Bassa slide, and the Giants were the ones holding the card at pick No. 245. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
Reaching for Sheppard left real value on the table behind him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
With interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Tate Ratledge
In slot 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 1 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to No. 66, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick101
Rnd3
Jake Majors
Nothing to complain about; Jake Majors went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 102nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots to take Deontae Lawson, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick134
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the 134th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153
Rnd5
Addison West
Addison West at No. 153 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218
Rnd7
Will Sheppard
A real head-scratcher, Will Sheppard in pick 218 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jeffrey Bassa
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
They talked themselves into Jimmy Horn Jr. at pick No. 256, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
