If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Giants, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They banked enough surplus on Liufau to cover a lot of smaller sins. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Will Hernandez gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 21
In the 21st pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 23
Bralen Trice slid further than he should have, and pick No. 35 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Morgan at No. 39. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 41
Good price on Devontez Walker in Round 2, Pick 15, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 65
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in pick 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 72
Byron Murphy II at slot 70 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 87
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at the 85th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 90
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Marist Liufau for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 121
They paid a round early for Khyree Jackson in pick 107, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Kedon Slovis · QB · rank 139
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kedon Slovis in pick No. 143. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 185
They paid sticker price for AJ Barner in the 185th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
