Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Giants for Fields: C+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malachi Fields, pick No. 102, roughly 19 picks past where he belonged. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Reese pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense, even if it was a touch early.
Pick34 Rnd2 Colton Hood
By-the-book stuff, Colton Hood at pick No. 34 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at No. 102 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at the 140th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
No drama and no debate, Xavier Nwankpa went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 2. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
They liked Rayshaun Benny enough to skip the value, taking him in the 192nd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at slot 194 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
