FutureB+
The Giants bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says D. Somebody in pick No. 184 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Giants sat still while Will Shipley, the No. 107 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
Every board in the league had Wallace lower, and that gap is the story. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Michael Penix Jr. is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In the 21st pick they get the arm they will build around, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick22
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In pick 22 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In the 26th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
They will replay Cooper DeJean at slot 45 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Somehow Kool-Aid McKinstry was still sitting there in pick No. 47, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick50
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Corley. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in the 57th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They paid sticker price for Cade Stover in No. 70, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at Round 3, Pick 17 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
The board fumbled Javon Bullard all the way to Round 3, Pick 19, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They jumped the gun on Theo Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at slot 115 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Audric Estime slipping to the 120th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
Nice patience on Isaac Guerendo, who had no business lasting to No. 141. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158
Rnd5
Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the 158th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
They talked themselves into Fabien Lovett at pick No. 161, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171
Rnd5
Steele Chambers
They reached a country mile for Steele Chambers at pick 171, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick172
Rnd5
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at Round 5, Pick 36 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183
Rnd6
Trente Jones
A reach for Trente Jones in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184
Rnd6
Will Shipley
A running back of that caliber at No. 184 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabe Hall. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
