Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Giants and McCarthy: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how J.J. McCarthy got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at pick 70.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Adding Javon Kinlaw by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 31st pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Good price on Chris Braswell in the 39th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kalen King
Fair-plus on Kalen King, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 J.J. McCarthy
Taking J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 70 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in slot 98. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at Round 4, Pick 7 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Daijun Edwards
They took Daijun Edwards at par in pick 131, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malik Washington
You do not let a wide receiver like Malik Washington reach No. 143 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
No edge and no loss on Ethan Driskell in slot 185; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
