You build a draft on nights like this. Mike Sainristil had no business being available in the 189th pick, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Gentry has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The DeJean pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · JC Latham · OT · rank 17
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · JT Tuimoloau · DE-EDGE · rank 31
JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 37 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 57
They took Jermaine Burton at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Cooper DeJean · DB · rank 55
A want over a need in No. 54: Cooper DeJean adds a defensive back while interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 74
They paid sticker price for Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 69, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 96
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at the 96th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 107
Audric Estime in the 105th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 101
A slide stopped in pick 115, with Graham Barton worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 161
They reached into another round for Lathan Ransom, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.29 · Pick 165 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 150
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Devontez Walker at pick No. 165 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 163
Circle this one: Frank Gore Jr. at No. 183 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Mike Sainristil · DB · rank 156
Taking Mike Sainristil in pick 189 is close to grand larceny; a defensive back that good had no business lasting this long. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 262
Eric Gentry at the 240th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
