FutureB-
The Giants bet the future on Daniels. The board says D. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Olumuyiwa Fashanu got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at the 105th overall pick.
The Casey reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 6th pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick13
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 13 they get juice off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In the 16th pick they get a lockdown presence outside.
Pick17
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
A straight-up fair deal on Quinyon Mitchell at No. 17, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in slot 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Taking Chop Robinson in the 47th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70
Rnd3
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in pick No. 70 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71
Rnd3
J.J. McCarthy
Steal is underselling it; J.J. McCarthy at pick 71 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72
Rnd3
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Circle this one: Braden Fiske at slot 75 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 90 with a little surplus value in Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105
Rnd4
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Olumuyiwa Fashanu in No. 105, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Trey Benson
Trey Benson slipping to the 108th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
A quiet steal in the 110th overall pick: Brenden Rice for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Somehow Khyree Jackson was still sitting there in pick 112, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cole Bishop in Round 4, Pick 23. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
They jumped the gun on Brennan Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148
Rnd5
AJ Barner
A reach for AJ Barner in pick No. 148; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at the 185th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Anim Dankwah
A big swing on Anim Dankwah at pick 252, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
Aaron Casey
Aaron Casey at the 253rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick254
Rnd7
Luke McCaffrey
They robbed the room for Luke McCaffrey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
Value said wait; Taulia Tagovailoa in Round 7, Pick 39 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
