New York Giants

Best value of the weekend goes to the Giants for McConkey: B+.

Future B-

When a board-topper like Ladd McConkey slides to pick 90, you do not overthink it, and the Giants did not. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Laiatu Latu · DL-EDGE · rank 7
In pick 9 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
Kamren Kinchens at the 39th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
You do not let a quarterback like Jayden Daniels reach the 47th overall pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
Circle this one: Graham Barton at pick No. 70 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 61
Adisa Isaac in No. 71 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 60
Value with a capital V on Jonathon Brooks in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 33
Ladd McConkey in Round 3, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 86
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 85
They barely believed it either: Caelen Carson still on the board at Round 4, Pick 23. The roster fit checks out.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 141
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 140 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 151
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Johnson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 144
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 185th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 159
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 187, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
