FutureB-
The phones sank the Giants this weekend: C. The Giants clearly saw something nobody else did in Tommy Mellott, taking him 222 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a C and check back in two years.
The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
The Giants paired the rookies with proven help, Tyler Guyton leading the way.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the 19th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Shavon Revel Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at slot 34. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Princely Umanmielen
Steal is underselling it; Princely Umanmielen at pick 44 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick51
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 51st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 52 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
A real head-scratcher, Jaxson Dart in Round 3, Pick 1 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in No. 67 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
James Pearce Jr.
Circle this one: James Pearce Jr. at the 71st pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jihaad Campbell
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach pick No. 104 and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick122
Rnd4
Omarion Hampton
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in the 122nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134
Rnd4
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jordan Burch
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jordan Burch in slot 136, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tommy Mellott
Tommy Mellott in pick 139 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They will replay Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 140th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145
Rnd5
Will Howard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Howard well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in Round 5, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jack Bech
Jack Bech in slot 157 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173
Rnd5
Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 174th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick 176 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
The board fumbled Oronde Gadsden II all the way to pick No. 182, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185
Rnd6
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick 185 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
They paid sticker price for Theo Wease Jr. in the 199th pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200
Rnd6
J.Michael Sturdivant
Value said wait; J.Michael Sturdivant in the 200th overall pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219
Rnd7
David Bailey
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 219 is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick246
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
They robbed the room for Phil Mafah here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247
Rnd7
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 247 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
Taking Seth McLaughlin in slot 249 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in Round 7, Pick 40 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256
Rnd7
Graham Mertz
They reached a country mile for Graham Mertz at the 256th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
