FutureB-
The Giants cashed the board's mistake on Brooks: D. The Giants lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
They banked enough surplus on Brooks to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
If Porter pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick 3 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Emmanwori at No. 34 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick65
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A reach on Darien Porter in slot 65; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Charles Grant
The board had Charles Grant higher than the 99th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darius Alexander in pick No. 105. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
A tidy bit of business in the 154th overall pick, where Tyler Shough graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219
Rnd7
Chimere Dike
A slide stopped in pick No. 219, with Chimere Dike worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
They will replay Tahj Brooks at pick 246 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
