The Giants treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 141 on Joe Milton III a full 59 spots early.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The Tariq Woolen deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Kris Jenkins in Round 2, Pick 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A quiet steal in pick 70: Xavier Worthy for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Patrick Paul at slot 81 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in the 102nd overall pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at No. 107 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Joe Milton III at the 141st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
A reach for Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Devin Culp well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
