last day of 2022 NFL Draft in progress, and New York Giants We have six choices to make today.
The Giants came to the draft with four picks for the third day, but added a second fourth-round pick and a third fifth-round pick in trades with Atlanta Falcons And New York JetsStraight.
The Giants got off to a strong start in the first round with outstanding additions Kayvonne Thibodeau and attacking tackle Evan Neal. On the other hand, on the second day of the draft, fans asked “Who?” With a selection from receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, offensive lineman Joshua Ezeudu and Cornerback Cordale Flott.
We will keep this post updated throughout the day with analysis of all the giants’ picks and moves.
Fourth round
112th overall – Daniel Bellinger, TE, San Diego State
We knew the Giants would have to get out of the draft with a tight finish after adjusting the situation completely over the course of the season. Bellinger has an interesting combination of size and athletic performance at 6-foot-5 and 253 pounds with a 9.66 RAS.
Bellinger still has a bit of an evolution perspective that needs to hone his game and become a more consistent technician. However, it does offer the Giants a potential long-term answer in the tight end position if it can become a steady start.
He has the attributes to contribute as a receiver and blocker, play from the line, split, or potentially move around the offensive lineup.
– Chris Flom
114th overall – Dane Belton, DB, Iowa
The Belton has good size, sporting ability and a profile that fits nicely in Big-Nickel or dollar packages. Belton offers some upside to covering in the leg versus the tight ends and big openings. He provides a physical nature at the line of scrimmage with a jam and ride while being an overall strong player with good playing power.
Pelton aligned 536 times in the hole, 290 times in the box, 57 times in the free safety, and 51 times on the line of scrimmage near the box. He has high pressure and is a more athletic version of Geno Stone – a player selected by the Ravens in the seventh round of the 2020 Draft.
I love Dane Belton’s understanding of combinations/off road concepts
There were both swipe and vertical swipe concepts designed to remove Belton from an area and open up another route…the DB did a great job identifying and calmly interacting
He had many self-intelligences this way

Dane Belton showed great eye discipline on Days 3 and 5, watching QB as he quietly expands with RB right back in the flat.
Pelton watches as QB targets the rear drag, so Pelton gets out of the flat and has a hit ahead of the sticks. pic.twitter.com/RjlZEU91Rn

The Giants desperately need help with a safety stand. Pelton should be a situational piece with upside-down special teams that can be used as a third or fourth safety to start off the upside of being a starter for future Giants.
