The phones were a trap the Giants kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Corum lower, and that gap is the story. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
The Hadden pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A quiet steal in pick 38: Bo Nix for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
No edge and no loss on Roman Wilson in Round 2, Pick 15; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Mike Sainristil in slot 66 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
A reach on Blake Corum in pick No. 70; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the 104th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They took Mekhi Wingo at par in No. 107, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Value with a capital V on Christian Jones in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Kamal Hadden is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
