The trade table was a mismatch, and the Giants were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Smith-Wade. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Kaden Elliss gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 11
In pick No. 8 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 46
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.J. McCarthy. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 47
Kris Jenkins at the 47th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 50
Patrick Paul in the 52nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · D.J. James · CB · rank 64
Fair-plus on D.J. James, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Beau Brade · S · rank 110
A straight-up fair deal on Beau Brade at slot 107, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 145
Javion Cohen at the 143rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.9 · Pick 145 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at pick No. 145 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 158
Circle this one: Chau Smith-Wade at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 216
No drama and no debate, Brevyn Spann-Ford went about where he belonged in No. 216. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 215
They did well to land Darius Muasau in the 221st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
