Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Giants for Worthy: A-.

The Giants spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Xavier Worthy, the No. 33 name on the board, in the 70th overall pick. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They are betting Stover proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end it comes back to Malik Nabers, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick No. 6 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 7th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 JC Latham
Somehow JC Latham was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Circle this one: Kool-Aid McKinstry at No. 39 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick70 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 3, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
Steal is underselling it; Troy Fautanu at slot 78 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at pick 105 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at No. 114 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Max Melton
Max Melton in pick No. 142 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the 183rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
