Grand theft in the 219th overall pick: the Giants steal Fitzgerald and grade out a A. When a board-topper like Ryan Fitzgerald slides to the 219th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Giants did not.
Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Campbell pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver still on the board.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Mike Green
In slot 20 they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Shavon Revel Jr. for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 12 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 51 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick57
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at No. 57 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65
Rnd3
Deone Walker
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in the 65th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
A curious use of the 74th overall pick. Wide receiver needed the pick; a linebacker in Jihaad Campbell did not.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at pick 103 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
Circle this one: Gunnar Helm at Round 4, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120
Rnd4
Alfred Collins
They barely believed it either: Alfred Collins still on the board at No. 120. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at slot 134 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136
Rnd4
Donovan Smith
A wild overpay on Donovan Smith in the 136th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at the 153rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at pick No. 219 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hayden Conner reach pick 246 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
