The status of Giants draft picks as clock winds down

*** As of 6 PM Central time, Monday August 17th***

Six hours until the clock strikes midnight.

The Giants first ten round draft picks and their bonus received. Wheeler is sitting with the slot above him signed at $2.4 million and the slot below him signed for $2.4 million. Not much wiggle room left there, bud.

6th rounder Matthew Graham was signed above slot. He was committed to North Carolina and slipped. Signing him is a big plus.

If they can sign Wheeler late and pick up 17th rounder Walsh, this shapes up potentially as another very, very productive draft for the G-men.

2009 Draftees Bonus
1 Zach Wheeler RHP 6-4,170 East Paulding HS (GA) unsigned
2 Tommy Joseph C 6-1,210 Desert Ridge HS (AZ) $712,000
3 Chris Dominguez 3B 6-5, 220 Louisville $411,300
4 Jason Stoffel RHP 6-2,220 Arizona $254,700

7 Nick Liles 2B Western Carolina $120,000
8 Gus Benusa OF Riverview HS (PA) $125,000
9 Evan Crawford CF 6-2, 205 Indiana $110,000
10 Jeremey Toole RHP Brigham Young $80,000
17 Jonathan Walsh C 6-2, 175 Coppen HS ???


$2,513,000 is the total spent on the first ten rounds, that total could double if Wheeler is added. Not bad, boys.
