Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA+
The Giants robbed the room for Rodriguez. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jacob Rodriguez at pick 74 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Trevor Penning pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 22 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in the 37th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They jumped the gun on Gennings Dunker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Lee Hunter in pick 55. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 74th overall pick on Jacob Rodriguez with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick105 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Brenen Thompson
They read the board right and Brenen Thompson was the payoff at pick No. 109. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
They liked Kaleb Proctor enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 23. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World in Round 5, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
A straight-up fair deal on Matt Gulbin at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 192 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne in No. 193 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
