Overall

FutureB+
The phones sank the Giants this weekend: D. The Giants spent real capital to be 43 picks early on Jalen Travis, and the board is going to hold them to it. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick 3 they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Walker at pick No. 34 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in Round 3, Pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
They liked Jalen Milroe enough to skip the value, taking him in the 81st pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jamaree Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in No. 105 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
A wild overpay on Kyle Williams in pick No. 154, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159
Rnd5
Que Robinson
A big swing on Que Robinson at pick 159, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198
Rnd6
Fadil Diggs
Value said wait; Fadil Diggs in Round 6, Pick 22 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216
Rnd6
Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at the 216th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick237
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
They paid up for Kitan Crawford at No. 237 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 246th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250
Rnd7
Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in No. 255 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
