The Giants cashed the board's mistake on Pritchett: A.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Nehemiah Pritchett tumbling to the Giants in Round 6, Pick 8 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Rattler pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Bottom line, with Malik Nabers leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Spencer Rattler at pick 107 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Ainias Smith at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at No. 183 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A quiet steal in the 209th pick: Jase McClellan for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
