FutureC-
The Giants let McCormick fall into their laps, and walked away with a D-. Somebody in No. 249 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Giants sat still while Mason McCormick, the No. 159 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.
They will need Schrader to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick 6 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick13
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In slot 13 they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
Nice patience on Taliese Fuaga, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 1. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39
Rnd2
Michael Penix Jr.
Circle this one: Michael Penix Jr. at No. 39 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
They read the board right and Terrion Arnold was the payoff at pick No. 40. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41
Rnd2
Bo Nix
The board had Bo Nix higher than the 41st pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick47
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 47th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 88 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Max Melton
They robbed the room for Max Melton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 3, Pick 27 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick92
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at pick No. 92 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They jumped the gun on DeWayne Carter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in the 95th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in No. 97; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Taking Kiran Amegadjie in pick 99 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A reach for Javon Solomon in the 102nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick108
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They barely believed it either: Khyree Jackson still on the board at pick No. 108. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They talked themselves into Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
The board had cheaper options than Ben Sinnott at slot 124, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 127th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick128
Rnd4
Cody Schrader
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Schrader this early at Round 4, Pick 28. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at No. 129 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the 140th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
No drama and no debate, Anthony Gould went about where he belonged in slot 163. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173
Rnd5
Caedan Wallace
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caedan Wallace. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
A premium they did not need to pay, Joe Milton III a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
You do not let a cornerback like Kamal Hadden reach Round 6, Pick 38 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214
Rnd6
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 214 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at the 215th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217
Rnd6
AJ Barner
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, AJ Barner in pick 217, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Somehow Steele Chambers was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick249
Rnd7
Mason McCormick
Steal is underselling it; Mason McCormick at No. 249 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
