Hello4419 DRAFTING FOR THEGiants
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Giants
Overall
C+

TradesB-
FutureB-
The jury is out on the Giants. For now, C+. There is reaching, and then there is Aaron Scott Jr. at pick 139. The Giants jumped the board by 418 and dared it to prove them wrong. A mixed bag that lands at C+.
The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
KJ Bolden
In pick 22 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54
Rnd2
Mike Matthews
A real head-scratcher, Mike Matthews in Round 2, Pick 22 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86
Rnd3
James Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take James Smith this early at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139
Rnd4
Aaron Scott Jr.
Aaron Scott Jr. in pick No. 139 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201
Rnd6
Ian Moore
Ian Moore in slot 201 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205
Rnd6
Tao Johnson
They went early on Tao Johnson in No. 205, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
