The rest of the league will want that one back. James Williams tumbling to the Giants in slot 190 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Reaching for Milton III left real value on the table behind him.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In the end it comes back to Marvin Harrison Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.5 · Pick 37 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
They robbed the room for Marvin Harrison Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
A clean, defensible pick in No. 39 with a little surplus value in Kamren Kinchens. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
The board had Chop Robinson higher than slot 47, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 39
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 60 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 65
Mekhi Wingo at Round 3, Pick 6 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 68
Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 69
Trey Benson at the 76th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 66
They read the board right and Payton Wilson was the payoff at pick 80. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 64
Caelen Carson at pick No. 99 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 79
They will replay Christian Mahogany at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 103
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marshawn Kneeland in the 108th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 136
Jordan Travis at pick 120 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 145
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. It fills a real need, too.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 169
Joe Milton III in the 148th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 133
The board fumbled Will Shipley all the way to No. 163, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · James Williams · S · rank 135
They barely believed it either: James Williams still on the board at slot 190. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
