FutureB
The Giants turned the phones into found money: B+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Giants did exactly that with Frank Gore Jr. in slot 183. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The Burke pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 17th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They liked J.J. McCarthy enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 36. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick38
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
No edge and no loss on Troy Fautanu in No. 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at the 47th pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Nice patience on Denzel Burke, who had no business lasting to slot 69. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
They did well to land Leonard Taylor III in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in No. 81 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
They talked themselves into Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106
Rnd4
Max Melton
They paid a round early for Max Melton in the 106th pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
They paid up for Cole Bishop at pick 142 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 183rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
