Mick DRAFTING FOR THEGiants

FutureA+
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a A- weekend for the Giants. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Giants committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Tampa pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots still on the board.
They will need Proctor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Linton.
In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 19 they get the face of the franchise, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the 35th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
No drama and no debate, Amarius Mims went about where he belonged in No. 45. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at slot 53, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
A want over a need in Round 2, Pick 25: T.J. Tampa adds a defensive back while interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick70
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121
Rnd4
Zach Frazier
They jumped the gun on Zach Frazier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162
Rnd5
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at No. 162 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172
Rnd5
Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178
Rnd6
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick 178 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181
Rnd6
Steve Linton
Steve Linton slipping to the 181st pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jestin Jacobs
Good price on Jestin Jacobs in pick No. 187, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick188
Rnd6
Tony Grimes
By-the-book stuff, Tony Grimes at the 188th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick203
Rnd6
Omar Speights
Omar Speights at slot 203 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick231
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
They took LaDarius Henderson at par in Round 7, Pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
They reached into another round for Josh Proctor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
