Good, not great, for the Giants: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Giants spent No. 246 on Jalen Travis, a name most had 47 spots down the list.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 3rd overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
By-the-book stuff, Elic Ayomanor at No. 65 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A reach for Zy Alexander in pick 99; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Will Howard
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Howard. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A reasonable price with a little left over, Logan Brown in pick No. 154. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A reach on Desmond Watson in the 219th pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in slot 246 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
