FutureC-
The Giants worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dominic Zvada, 53 picks early at No. 218.
However the rest shakes out, Allar at that price is a win they earned. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In pick 6 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In pick No. 21 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caleb Banks at Round 2, Pick 5. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78
Rnd3
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 78th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brian Parker II
They will replay Brian Parker II at slot 103 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118
Rnd4
Xavier Scott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Scott at the 118th overall pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141
Rnd5
Logan Jones
A clean, defensible pick in the 141st pick with a little surplus value in Logan Jones. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153
Rnd5
Terrance Carter Jr.
Terrance Carter Jr. at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183
Rnd6
Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at pick No. 183 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186
Rnd6
Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at slot 186 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193
Rnd6
Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes in Round 6, Pick 12 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195
Rnd6
Drew Allar
The board fumbled Drew Allar all the way to No. 195, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in pick 218 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
