Draft Grade — Giants

FutureA+
The Giants worked the phones like thieves and earned a A. The war room fell hard for Thomas Fidone II, and it showed at pick No. 238: 117 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.
The Rourke pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In slot 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Josh Simmons
A slide stopped in the 34th pick, with Josh Simmons worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to pick No. 45, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell is a better player than No. 57 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick65
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 1 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 74th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in the 104th pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
You do not let a cornerback like Denzel Burke reach Round 4, Pick 12 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116
Rnd4
Savion Williams
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at No. 116. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tyler Shough
They jumped the gun on Tyler Shough, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155
Rnd5
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at slot 165 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190
Rnd6
Andres Borregales
Steal is underselling it; Andres Borregales at the 190th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick207
Rnd6
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 207 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216
Rnd6
Kurtis Rourke
Circle this one: Kurtis Rourke at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Dayon Hayes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dayon Hayes well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234
Rnd7
Nick Martin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Martin in the 234th pick, miles early. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick238
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at Round 7, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jaylin Lane
A real head-scratcher, Jaylin Lane in slot 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick 257 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
