Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Johnson should have been long gone. The Giants pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cornelius Johnson, slot 211, roughly 24 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Nice patience on Troy Franklin, who had no business lasting to the 39th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
No drama and no debate, Adisa Isaac went about where he belonged in pick No. 48. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Nothing to complain about; Patrick Paul went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 108 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in the 115th overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Josh Newton
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 4, with Josh Newton worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Fair-plus on Caedan Wallace, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
