Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Giants let Fitzgerald fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ryan Fitzgerald, the 219th overall pick, roughly 102 picks past where he belonged.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Grant proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
They paid sticker price for Jahdae Barron in the 14th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick34 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at pick 34. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in slot 51 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in pick No. 57 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 65th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A big swing on Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 10, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Circle this one: Dylan Sampson at No. 112 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Cam Skattebo for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in the 153rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in slot 189, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 246 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
