Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Giants: B.

The Jacob Rodriguez pick is the one that will follow the Giants into the fall. They took him 24 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hurst.

Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 5th overall pick they get a two-high chess piece. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Nothing to complain about; Colton Hood went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
A big swing on Chase Bisontis at pick 105, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacob Rodriguez in No. 144, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
A quiet steal in pick No. 185: Ted Hurst for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
By-the-book stuff, Monroe Mills at the 191st pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kobe Baynes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
