If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Giants, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Lance pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. However the rest shakes out, Styles at that price is a win they earned.

Jayden Higgins gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 11
In the 29th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. More want than need.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Omar Cooper Jr. · WR · rank 35
Fair-plus on Omar Cooper Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Gennings Dunker · OG · rank 51
By-the-book stuff, Gennings Dunker at No. 45 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · D'Angelo Ponds · CB · rank 48
D'Angelo Ponds at slot 59 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 96
A reach on Bryce Lance in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · De'Zhaun Stribling · WR · rank 99
De'Zhaun Stribling in pick 105 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.1 · Pick 141 · Kaleb Proctor · DL · rank 136
Kaleb Proctor at the 141st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.5 · Pick 145 · Kaytron Allen · RB · rank 149
Kaytron Allen at No. 145 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 150
Charles Demmings at pick No. 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.34 · Pick 174 · Eric Rivers · WR · rank 171
Nothing to complain about; Eric Rivers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.5 · Pick 186 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 181
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in pick 186 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.11 · Pick 192 · Cole Payton · QB · rank 201
Cole Payton in Round 6, Pick 11 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
R6.12 · Pick 193 · Dae'Quan Wright · TE · rank 189
They did well to land Dae'Quan Wright in the 193rd pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
