Banger DRAFTING FOR THEGiants

Draft Grade — Giants

The phones sank the Giants this weekend: B. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Giants did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Egbuka. Trader Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in pick No. 12 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick34
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Walter Nolen at slot 34. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than pick 65, and the running back fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102
Rnd3
Will Howard
They took Will Howard at par in the 102nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133
Rnd4
Kobe King
Kobe King in the 133rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick154
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
A premium they did not need to pay, RJ Harvey a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219
Rnd7
Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. at No. 219 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228
Rnd7
CJ Dippre
They paid up for CJ Dippre at pick No. 228 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Wease Jr. at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
