FutureA+
The Giants got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 99th overall pick is 58 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Skattebo steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Riley Moss gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In the 27th pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
The board fumbled Shavon Revel Jr. all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in pick 58, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
Darien Porter
They went early on Darien Porter in slot 62, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in the 65th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at No. 67, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. is a better player than pick No. 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick85
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91
Rnd3
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at Round 3, Pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 99, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oluwafemi Oladejo this early at pick 102. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105
Rnd4
Quinn Ewers
Value with a capital V on Quinn Ewers in the 105th overall pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in pick 130, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at No. 154 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick179
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 179th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in Round 7, Pick 2 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
No edge and no loss on Craig Woodson in pick No. 219; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
