New York Giants

Morgan should have been long gone. The Giants pounced, and earned a A.

When a board-topper like Jordan Morgan slides to the 107th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Giants did not. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

The veteran additions, Marquise Brown chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
In pick 27 they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 11
Rome Odunze in slot 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 43rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Jer'Zhan Newton · DL · rank 12
Taking Jer'Zhan Newton in pick No. 47 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 24
Keon Coleman at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
They robbed the room for Quinyon Mitchell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 54
Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 81 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
They will replay Jordan Morgan at Round 4, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 118
Dillon Johnson in No. 118 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 122
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Sataoa Laumea in Round 5, Pick 7, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.18 · Pick 154 · Austin Booker · DE-EDGE · rank 159
Austin Booker at the 154th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
Cedric Gray at slot 185 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
