The Giants spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They will need Estime to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adonai Mitchell in pick 39. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in slot 58. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at No. 70 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A premium they did not need to pay, Audric Estime a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in the 127th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They liked Brennan Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
