Whoever sat across the table from the Giants should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.
Reaching for Sanders left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Connor McGovern gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Chris Braswell at slot 39 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
No drama and no debate, Josh Newton went about where he belonged in the 61st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They let Jermaine Burton come to them and pounced at pick 70. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They took Blake Fisher at par in pick No. 107, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Cole Bishop at Round 5, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They left a pile of value on the table to take T.J. Sanders this early at the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
