FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Giants, and a B to prove it. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Giants would have aced it. Trey Moore at the 134th overall pick is 129 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Henderson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick 24 they get a seam-stretching tight end, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jayden Higgins. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 45th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in slot 65 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76
Rnd3
Will Howard
They talked themselves into Will Howard at the 76th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in Round 3, Pick 18 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Kandra at slot 97, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at pick No. 103 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134
Rnd4
Trey Moore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Moore well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jaeden Roberts
A big swing on Jaeden Roberts at the 136th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach the 138th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jared Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jared Wilson in Round 7, Pick 3. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246
Rnd7
Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at No. 246 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
