If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Giants, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

Getting Walker where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Stover pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

John Franklin-Myers gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Bottom line, with JC Latham leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
In the 13th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 27
They let Kamari Lassiter come to them and pounced at pick 39. The roster fit checks out.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Nubin at the 47th pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 46
The board fumbled Devontez Walker all the way to pick No. 70, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Cade Stover · TE-EDGE · rank 94
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE and leaves edge rusher untouched.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 112
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 13 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 132
Daijun Edwards is a better player than slot 143 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.13 · Pick 149 · McCallan Castles · TE · rank 152
McCallan Castles in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
Value with a capital V on Cam Hart in the 150th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 164
You do not let a quarterback like Joe Milton III reach Round 6, Pick 10 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 177
Jaylan Ford at pick No. 187 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
