New York Giants

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Giants and Puni: A.

Trades A+
Future A+

The Giants did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dominick Puni fell into the 143rd overall pick.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Brian Thomas Jr. and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.4 · Pick 36 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 28
Brian Thomas Jr. is a better player than No. 36 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 29
They read the board right and Troy Fautanu was the payoff at the 39th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
Tyler Nubin in slot 47 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 43
J.J. McCarthy slipping to Round 2, Pick 21 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · D.J. James · CB · rank 64
D.J. James at pick No. 70 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 79
You do not let a wide receiver like Malachi Corley reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 100
They did well to land Blake Fisher in the 107th pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 103
Dominick Puni in pick 143 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 129
Taking Cole Bishop in slot 150 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
They will replay Braelon Allen at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
