B

New York Giants

A solid, sensible weekend for the Giants: B.

The Giants bet big and early on Raheim Sanders, 74 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is not that DeJean is a bad player; it is that the Giants had louder needs to answer first. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Goncalves.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 13
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Quinn Ewers · QB · rank 39
They took Quinn Ewers at par in slot 34, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Cooper DeJean · DB · rank 55
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cooper DeJean at defensive back with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 73
They went early on Chris Braswell in pick 64, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 98
They reached into another round for Christian Haynes, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 91
Good price on Brenden Rice in No. 97, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 179
Raheim Sanders at pick 105 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 107
The board had Matt Goncalves higher than the Round 4 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 187
A wild overpay on Bryce Foster in pick No. 142, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 203
This one needs a full-page explanation: Curtis Jacobs in the 181st pick, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 250
They paid a round early for Taulia Tagovailoa in the 239th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
