The Giants won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-. There is reaching, and then there is Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 108th pick. The Giants jumped the board by 32 and dared it to prove them wrong. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. On value alone, Norman-Lott makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 3rd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Mike Green
In pick 22 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at Round 2, Pick 5 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
A slide stopped in pick No. 55, with Jaxson Dart worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at slot 99 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at the 105th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached a country mile for Oluwafemi Oladejo at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Nice patience on Hollin Pierce, who had no business lasting to pick 154. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They paid sticker price for Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 191, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in slot 219, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie in No. 246 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248
Rnd7
Logan Parr
Logan Parr in the 248th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Teddye Buchanan in the 254th overall pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
