No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Giants.

The Giants clearly saw something nobody else did in Montrell Johnson Jr., taking him 88 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rice.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 10
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 5th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 35
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nate Wiggins. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 46
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Morgan in pick No. 54. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 78
Barrett Carter at pick 69 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 103
They talked themselves into Graham Barton at the 70th pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 91
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 5, with Brenden Rice worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 127
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ricky Pearsall this early at Round 4, Pick 7. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 141
They paid a round early for AJ Barner in pick No. 133, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 158
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mike Sainristil. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 152
Devontez Walker in the 142nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Montrell Johnson Jr. · RB · rank 271
Value said wait; Montrell Johnson Jr. in slot 183 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 222
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Omar Speights well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
