FutureC
Quarterback settled, Penix Jr. in the fold, and a B for the Giants. The search is over. The Giants handed the keys to Michael Penix Jr., and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The cost of the Fautanu reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In pick 9 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in Round 2, Pick 22 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Princely Umanmielen
No drama and no debate, Princely Umanmielen went about where he belonged in pick No. 69. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105
Rnd4
Tyleik Williams
No edge and no loss on Tyleik Williams in slot 105; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Troy Fautanu
They paid a round early for Troy Fautanu in No. 106, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135
Rnd4
Tyler Guyton
They liked Tyler Guyton enough to skip the value, taking him in the 135th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142
Rnd5
Donovan Edwards
They went early on Donovan Edwards in the 142nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
