You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Giants did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

If Rueben Bain Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
