The Giants spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Gillotte value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick-by-Pick
Jayden Daniels in the 5th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Troy Fautanu in No. 37 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Good price on Chris Braswell in pick No. 54, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 69th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They let Zak Zinter come to them and pounced at slot 105. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They did well to land Ray Davis in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Ashton Gillotte slipping to pick 183 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
