The Giants cashed the board's mistake on Watts: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Xavier Watts slide, and the Giants were the ones holding the card at pick 65. Highway robbery.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Giddens reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 3 they get a lockdown presence outside. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
They paid up for Anthony Belton at the 99th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in the 105th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
They liked DJ Giddens enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 154. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
They went early on Bilhal Kone in No. 219, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A reach for Ty Hamilton in slot 246; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
