Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Giants grade out a A-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Giants' quarterback, full stop.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took DeJean.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If McCarthy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Bottom line, with J.J. McCarthy leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Nothing to complain about; Malik Nabers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick13 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 13th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Circle this one: Cooper DeJean at pick No. 49 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
The board fumbled T.J. Tampa all the way to slot 70, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd is a better player than Round 4, Pick 6 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 115 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A quiet steal in the 141st pick: Johnny Wilson for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roger Rosengarten at No. 146. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 183 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
