Nobody else had Cody Schrader anywhere near pick No. 183. The Giants did, by 48 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while interior defensive lineman and cornerback went begging.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 4
Good price on Joe Alt in No. 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 37
Keon Coleman in the 37th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Princely Umanmielen · DE-EDGE · rank 70
They took Princely Umanmielen at par in pick 66, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 65
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kamren Kinchens in Round 3, Pick 5. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 66
Sedrick Van Pran slid further than he should have, and pick No. 74 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.22 · Pick 85 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 84
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with interior defensive lineman and cornerback open.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 123
A big swing on Jaheim Bell at pick No. 105, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 124
A conviction pick on Spencer Rattler at No. 110 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 149
They paid sticker price for Ty'Ron Hopper in the 142nd pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 231
Value said wait; Cody Schrader in Round 6, Pick 8 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
