Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Giants robbed the room for Fitzgerald. Final grade: A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 117 name on the board, stolen at No. 246.

Every board in the league had Walker lower, and that gap is the story. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The veteran additions, Cooper DeJean chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

They went 9 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end it comes back to Josh Simmons, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 14 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick 63 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Deone Walker at the 65th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
They talked themselves into Quinn Ewers at Round 3, Pick 10, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 David Walker
A big swing on David Walker at pick No. 80, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
The board had Tate Ratledge higher than the 90th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
They robbed the room for Kaleb Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 134th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Quincy Riley well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in No. 153 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 164 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach Round 6, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Steal is underselling it; RJ Harvey at slot 188 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick200 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at pick 200, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in slot 219 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in No. 246 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
