FutureC+
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a D-, for the Giants. The Giants put a flag in the ground for Kitan Oladapo, 34 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
J.J. McCarthy gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. However the rest shakes out, Wilson at that price is a win they earned. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
The Giants paired the rookies with proven help, David Long Jr. leading the way.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 9th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 16 they get a difference-maker at receiver, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade, reach and all.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 4: Kool-Aid McKinstry for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47
Rnd2
Bo Nix
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bo Nix in the 47th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick 60 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Taking Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 65 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Circle this one: Javon Bullard at Round 3, Pick 6 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 71 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73
Rnd3
Max Melton
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at the 73rd pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
The board fumbled Xavier Legette all the way to the 78th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 87 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at pick 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A tidy little value on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in Round 3, Pick 26, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Fair-plus on Trey Benson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock slipping to pick No. 93 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They paid up for Zak Zinter at slot 94 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Value with a capital V on Blake Corum in the 98th overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107
Rnd4
Spencer Rattler
They liked Spencer Rattler enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 108th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They will replay Khyree Jackson at No. 114 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Steal is underselling it; Caelen Carson at slot 118 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Kitan Oladapo
A wild overpay on Kitan Oladapo in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Christian Mahogany in No. 122, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129
Rnd4
Anthony Gould
A reach on Anthony Gould in the 129th pick; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
