The Giants cashed the board's mistake on Higgins: B-. Call it larceny. Jay Higgins sat on the board until No. 248, and the Giants did not need to be asked twice.
The cost of the Milroe reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jalen Milroe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Milroe this early at No. 44. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at pick No. 65 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at Round 4, Pick 3 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 134 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the 155th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221
Rnd7
Mitchell Evans
The board fumbled Mitchell Evans all the way to the 221st pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at the 248th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
