Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants robbed the room for Golday. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jake Golday got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at the Round 4 slot.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 5th overall pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Chris Bell in Round 2, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in pick 143 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
They took Xavier Nwankpa at par in slot 184, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at pick No. 190 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
No edge and no loss on Kobe Baynes in the 191st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
