New York Giants

The Giants won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Giants, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Nelson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mayes.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.5 · Pick 37 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 41
J.J. McCarthy in pick 37 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 64
By-the-book stuff, Kamren Kinchens at No. 66 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 62
Malachi Corley at Round 3, Pick 5 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 91
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 85; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 106
They paid sticker price for Audric Estime in the 105th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 143
Luke Lachey in pick No. 142 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · BJ Mayes · CB · rank 166
Nice patience on BJ Mayes, who had no business lasting to the 183rd overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jordan Whittington · WR · rank 199
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Jordan Whittington for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.43 · Pick 218 · Storm Duck · CB · rank 228
Storm Duck in the 218th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Kaimon Rucker · DL-EDGE · rank 242
They reached into another round for Kaimon Rucker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Zion Nelson · OT · rank 249
Zion Nelson at the 226th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
