The Giants fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Fadil Diggs in the 121st overall pick, a good 104 spots before the room expected him. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
Shough falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 1 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalon Walker at pick 34. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick53
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Watts went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick54
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A clean, defensible pick in the 54th pick with a little surplus value in Trey Amos. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57
Rnd2
Bradyn Swinson
They paid sticker price for Bradyn Swinson in pick No. 57, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 63rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 65th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick74
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 74 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston slipping to Round 3, Pick 20 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
They jumped the gun on Jalen Milroe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Bond at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
They let Gunnar Helm come to them and pounced at No. 105. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips slid further than he should have, and pick No. 117 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at slot 121 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154
Rnd5
Terrance Ferguson
Circle this one: Terrance Ferguson at slot 154 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in No. 157 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in pick No. 159 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189
Rnd6
Andres Borregales
A specialist of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick198
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 6, Pick 22 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204
Rnd6
DJ Giddens
They will replay DJ Giddens at pick 204 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219
Rnd7
Chimere Dike
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chimere Dike in the 219th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
Value with a capital V on Kitan Crawford in the 246th pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
