When a board-topper like LaDarius Henderson slides to slot 185, you do not overthink it, and the Giants did not. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Milton III lower, and that gap is the story.
The Tyquan Lewis pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 6 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
T.J. Tampa at slot 46 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Bralen Trice in pick 47 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at the 70th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 7 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Somehow LaDarius Henderson was still sitting there in the 185th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
