Mick DRAFTING FOR THEGiants

The Giants robbed the room for Brown. Final grade: A-. Call it larceny. Omar Brown sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Giants did not need to be asked twice.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Reaching for Weaver left real value on the table behind him.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in pick No. 47. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at the 68th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70
Rnd3
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 16 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85
Rnd3
Maason Smith
By-the-book stuff, Maason Smith at No. 85 squarely in line with his ranking. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick115
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in slot 115 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They jumped the gun on Javon Foster, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138
Rnd5
James Williams
James Williams at the 138th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
They paid sticker price for Malik Mustapha in pick No. 139, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140
Rnd5
Cam Hart
Cam Hart in No. 140 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in slot 143; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 146th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in pick 153, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
A real head-scratcher, Delmar Glaze in Round 5, Pick 21 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
A cornerback of that caliber at the 165th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166
Rnd5
LaDarius Henderson
They took LaDarius Henderson at par in pick No. 166, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick 170 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Good price on Kitan Oladapo in slot 174, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Barrett a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick194
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 194 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick195
Rnd6
Christian Jones
The board had cheaper options than Christian Jones at the 195th pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
A conviction pick on Jaylen Harrell at the 200th pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 210th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
They paid sticker price for De'Corian Clark in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213
Rnd6
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in Round 6, Pick 38 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233
Rnd7
Omar Brown
They will replay Omar Brown at pick 233 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
