32. RB David Wilson C

The Giants needed a running back, but I had David Wilson ranked about a round lower than this. On top of that, he’s way too similar to Ahmad Bradshaw. In fact, I made the exact comparison between Wilson and Bradshaw in my scouting report. Bradshaw is a fine running back, but ideally you want a running back who compliments your other back. They would have been much better off taking a bruiser like Bernard Pierce or someone in the 3^rd round.

63. WR Rueben Randle A

The Giants love drafting BPA so they must have been thrilled when Randle fell to them. I didn’t have Randle rated as highly as most because of his inconsistencies at LSU (7 games of 3 catches or fewer) and his struggles against elite cover cornerbacks (combined 7 catches for 47 yards in 3 games against Dre Kirkpatrick and Brandon Boykin). However, he did have bad quarterback play and he is still a solid value here with the last pick in the 2^nd round. He allows them to keep Victor Cruz in the slot where he’s best and could start right away opposite Hakeem Nicks.

94. CB Jayron Hosley B+

I guess the Giants needed cornerback depth, but they did have bigger needs and Hosley was a little further down on my down than this after his failed drug test at The Combine. Maybe the Giants just didn’t care about that as much.

127. TE Adrien Robinson C

They needed a tight end and they like tight ends who can block (why I didn’t make Coby Fleener to them in the 1^st). Robinson can block, but he’s not much of a pass catcher. He’s got great measurables and upside, but this was a little early for him. He won’t start right away so the Giants’ tight ends won’t be very good in 2012 at the tight end position unless Martellus Bennett can break out or either Jake Ballard or Travis Beckum can come back from injury.

131. OT Brandon Mosley A

They needed offensive line help. Mosley can compete with James Brewer, their 4^th round pick in 2012, at right tackle. He can also play some guard, where they need help because David Diehl is one of the worst starting offensive linemen in the league.

201. OT Matt McCants A

Another offensive lineman? Why not, it was a major need and McCants is an excellent value at this point.

239. DT Markus Kuhn B

Did they need a defensive tackle? Not really and Kuhn is slightly outside of my top 250, but whatever. It’s the 7^th round.

The Giants normally draft really well, but this grades out as a pretty average draft. David Wilson was a reach in the first round and not the type of back they needed. Jayron Hosley was a decent, but not great pick and Adrien Robinson won’t help them much right away. Rueben Randle was a great value however and they got good values on two offensive linemen they needed. It wasn’t a great draft, but it wasn’t bad either.

Grade: B-
