The Giants answered their biggest question with Penix Jr.. Grade: D. The Giants put a flag in the ground for Caedan Wallace, 42 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
Everything downstream of Michael Penix Jr. depends on Michael Penix Jr., and the building knows it. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In pick 20 they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In slot 25 they get the face of the franchise, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Bo Nix
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bo Nix in No. 47. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Value with a capital V on Adonai Mitchell in pick No. 48, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87
Rnd3
Renardo Green
A quiet steal in the 87th pick: Renardo Green for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
No drama and no debate, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went about where he belonged in pick 88. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Nice patience on Trey Benson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 98. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Fair-plus on Gabriel Murphy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at No. 100 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Theo Johnson this early at the 101st pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
They did well to land Zak Zinter in the 109th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
No edge and no loss on Blake Fisher in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
They robbed the room for Cedric Gray here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at slot 147 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
Somehow Johnny Wilson was still sitting there in the 154th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in No. 158 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at pick 161, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Caedan Wallace
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caedan Wallace well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178
Rnd6
Trente Jones
A reach for Trente Jones in Round 6, Pick 3; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick183
Rnd6
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 183rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
They paid sticker price for Fabien Lovett in slot 184, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
A reasonable price with a little left over, M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 198. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 203rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at the 207th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
A conviction pick on Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick221
Rnd7
KT Leveston
KT Leveston at No. 221 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
