The Giants lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
Every board in the league had Zinter lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Asante Samuel Jr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 7 they get juice off the edge at fair value.
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ladd McConkey well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They reached a country mile for Zak Zinter at Round 2, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ja'Lynn Polk at pick 69 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Spencer Rattler at pick No. 105 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Mike Sainristil at the 142nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in the 183rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Storm Duck. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
