Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Giants, and a B to prove it.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Giants walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That McClellan pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If Dunker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson at the 5th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They went early on Gennings Dunker in Round 2, Pick 5, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
The board had Genesis Smith higher than pick No. 105, and the safety fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan is a better player than the 143rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dae'Quan Wright in pick 184. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes in slot 190 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
A clean, defensible pick in No. 191 with a little surplus value in Ephesians Prysock. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
