New York Giants

The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: D+.

by bobbo · 2024 NFL Draft · 15 picks · 5 steals · 4 reaches
Value B-
Need B
Trades F
Future A+

Some picks age like wine; Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the 183rd pick will need to, sitting 46 spots clear of his grade.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Bo Nix gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Watson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 31
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future, reach and all. A real need, handled.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 33
No drama and no debate, Adonai Mitchell went about where he belonged in the 35th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 44
A clean, defensible pick in No. 47 with a little surplus value in Jonathon Brooks. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 40
Kamari Lassiter at slot 50 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 48
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T'Vondre Sweat at the 57th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 67
Fair-plus on Patrick Paul, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Renardo Green · S · rank 112
They went early on Renardo Green in No. 104, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 104
Good price on Zak Zinter in pick 107, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Jarvis Brownlee Jr. · CB · rank 115
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. is a better player than the 125th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 147
Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Javontae Jean-Baptiste · DE-EDGE · rank 229
A wild overpay on Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.16 · Pick 191 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 221
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylen Harrell. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.20 · Pick 195 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 198
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 195 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 207
You do not let a linebacker like Nathaniel Watson reach Round 7, Pick 6 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
