If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Giants, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Thomas left real value on the table behind him.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick-by-Pick
Fair-plus on Graham Barton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
No edge and no loss on J.J. McCarthy in slot 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Javon Bullard in the 70th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Braelon Allen at pick 143 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Braiden McGregor at Round 6, Pick 10 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Xavier Thomas at the 227th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
