A costly weekend of dealing drags the Giants to a C-. Nobody had Fadil Diggs this high, and it is not close. The Giants reached 53 spots to get him at pick 184.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. McMillan at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In slot 26 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in pick No. 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 39th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in the 40th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at Round 3, Pick 1 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick93
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 93rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jamaree Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamaree Caldwell. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
They paid sticker price for Denzel Burke in pick 112, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
They let Tyler Shough come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184
Rnd6
Fadil Diggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fadil Diggs well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
They reached a country mile for Teddye Buchanan at the 218th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick219
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A reach for Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 3; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Desmond Watson in No. 242. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick No. 246 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
They took Kitan Crawford at par in the 248th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
