New York Giants

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Giants and Colson: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Giants, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

If Wiley pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Colson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Laiatu Latu · DL-EDGE · rank 7
In slot 20 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R1.22 · Pick 22 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.23 · Pick 23 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 27
In the 23rd overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 42
They took J.J. McCarthy at par in pick No. 39, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 30
Nice patience on Quinyon Mitchell, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 26
Somehow Kamari Lassiter was still sitting there in the 51st pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 41
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 22 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 32
Ladd McConkey in pick No. 55 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 61
Jonathon Brooks in the 59th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 68
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in No. 70; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 71
Junior Colson at slot 108 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 130
A slide stopped in pick 140, with Cole Bishop worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 214
Jared Wiley in the 185th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
