aiden2 DRAFTING FOR THEGiants

Draft Grade — Giants
Overall

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Giants: B-. The Giants bet big and early on Clayton Smith, 136 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In pick No. 5 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
No edge and no loss on Emmanuel Pregnon in slot 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
A big swing on J.C. Davis at No. 105, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They jumped the gun on Davison Igbinosun, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184
Rnd6
Keyshaun Elliott
They went early on Keyshaun Elliott in the 184th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick190
Rnd6
Clayton Smith
They reached into another round for Clayton Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191
Rnd6
Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill at No. 191 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
