FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Giants this weekend: B+. Nobody else had Jalen Travis anywhere near pick No. 219. The Giants did, by 68 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Thornton Jr.. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In pick 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick15
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 15th overall pick they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 34th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick65
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick No. 65 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They took Deone Walker at par in Round 3, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Alexander at No. 87, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 3, Pick 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
No edge and no loss on Anthony Belton in slot 105; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
They did well to land Denzel Burke in the 122nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick No. 124 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
A tidy bit of business in No. 154, where Tyler Shough graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208
Rnd6
Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 208th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Teddye Buchanan. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick218
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 218 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at pick 219, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
They will replay Tahj Brooks at pick No. 220 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
They reached into another round for Elijhah Badger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246
Rnd7
CJ Dippre
Good price on CJ Dippre in No. 246, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
