Start where it matters. The Giants took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Allen lower, and that gap is the story.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Xavier Worthy in the 39th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They went early on Chris Braswell in slot 47, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in No. 70. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Brade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A premium they did not need to pay, Braelon Allen a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A reach for Christian Jones in pick 185; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
