The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Giants walked right past.
However the rest shakes out, Suamataia at that price is a win they earned. Adding Andrew Billings by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. A real need, handled.
Adonai Mitchell in No. 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
No drama and no debate, Tyler Guyton went about where he belonged in slot 47. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than the 70th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 7 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in pick No. 127. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
No edge and no loss on Jaden Hicks in pick 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Jaheim Bell at the 143rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Theo Wease Jr. at No. 185 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Harrell in pick No. 186, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
