If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Giants, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Sweat has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will answer for taking linebacker early while tight end went begging.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In pick No. 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
In slot 27 they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 43
They liked J.J. McCarthy enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 3. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
They paid a round early for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 64
A reach for Caelen Carson in pick 47; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 66
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 74
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in No. 70; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 96
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in the 90th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 108 on Tommy Eichenberg with tight end unsolved.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 157
They paid up for Braelon Allen at Round 5, Pick 4 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 184
Javon Baker in the 185th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.21 · Pick 196 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 210
Braiden McGregor in pick 196 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 226
The board fumbled Sheridan Jones all the way to slot 252, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
