Mick DRAFTING FOR THEGiants

FutureA-
The Giants turned the phones into found money: B+. The Giants put a flag in the ground for Delmar Glaze, 54 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Henderson.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
JC Latham
In No. 17 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at the 41st pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Value with a capital V on Jermaine Burton in the 71st overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 73, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Fair-plus on Maason Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick82
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
The board had Kamren Kinchens higher than pick 82, and the safety fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams is a better player than the 100th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104
Rnd4
Cam Hart
No drama and no debate, Cam Hart went about where he belonged in the 104th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
By-the-book stuff, Matt Goncalves at No. 106 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108
Rnd4
Junior Colson
A premium they did not need to pay, Junior Colson a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick112
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 112 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 117 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118
Rnd4
Theo Wease
They paid up for Theo Wease at No. 118 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams at slot 121 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131
Rnd4
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
They paid sticker price for Shemar Turner in the 132nd pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
No edge and no loss on Jordan Travis in pick 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134
Rnd4
Nehemiah Pritchett
They took Nehemiah Pritchett at par in the 134th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in Round 4, Pick 35 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143
Rnd5
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick No. 143 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick144
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Mustapha. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145
Rnd5
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 145th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in No. 153 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
They paid sticker price for Ainias Smith in pick 154, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158
Rnd5
Tre Harris
They jumped the gun on Tre Harris, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at Round 5, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jo'Quavious Marks
They reached a country mile for Jo'Quavious Marks at pick No. 164, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick 171 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 177th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick184
Rnd6
LaDarius Henderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and LaDarius Henderson at the 184th overall pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at slot 185 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick No. 192 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A straight-up fair deal on Oronde Gadsden II at No. 196, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Curtis Jacobs. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick205
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
A wild overpay on Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 205, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211
Rnd6
Steve Linton
By-the-book stuff, Steve Linton at No. 211 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
No edge and no loss on De'Corian Clark in the 214th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Bru McCoy
The board had cheaper options than Bru McCoy at slot 216, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
A big swing on Kamal Hadden at Round 6, Pick 43, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in pick 219 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in the 221st pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224
Rnd7
Khordae Sydnor
They talked themselves into Khordae Sydnor at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
They liked Jordan Magee enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 232. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick233
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
No drama and no debate, Joshua Gray went about where he belonged in pick No. 233. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
