The Giants desperately need an edge rusher who can help take advantage of the talent in the secondary. Thibs could be the guy. This pick gets an A

Evan Neal is a prototypical left tackle with elite size and strength. Fantastic pick for the Giants that will anchor their line along with Andrew Thomas. This pick gets an A.

Round 2, Pick #43
The Giants opted for the 5'8 Robinson over Metchie, Pickens or Moore. While mini Deebo Samuel could turn out very good, this grade gets a B as he could have easily fallen to 67.
The Giants need all the help they can get at O-Line, but they passed over Parham, Bruss, and Kinnard to get a pulling specialist who lacks explosiveness. This pick gets a B.

Good pick for the Giants. Bellinger is just as fast as Likely with better acceleration and a bigger frame for contested catches. This pick gets an A.

This pick was disappointing as their were several better safeties on the board like Anderson and Turner-Yell, but the Giants might see something in his raw athleticism. C-

Solid pick. Butler could have been a better choice at DT, but Davidson is an intriguing prospect. We give this pick a B.

I think you take Rodriguez here, as its hard to argue with 4 forced fumbles and a 36" vertical. We give this grade a B.
