Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Giants spent Round 5, Pick 5 on Kaleb Elarms-Orr, a name most had 37 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Carnell Tate · WR · rank 12
In slot 5 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 38
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emmanuel Pregnon. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Darrell Jackson Jr. · DT · rank 106
By-the-book stuff, Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick 105 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.5 · Pick 145 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 182
They talked themselves into Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the 145th pick, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.5 · Pick 186 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 191
Ephesians Prysock in the 186th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.11 · Pick 192 · Nick Barrett · DL · rank 202
Nick Barrett at Round 6, Pick 11 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.12 · Pick 193 · Kendrick Law · WR · rank 196
Kendrick Law at pick 193 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
