Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Giants let Van Pran fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Sedrick Van Pran had no business being available in pick 165, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Knox has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 6 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 26 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in slot 70 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ray Davis
No edge and no loss on Ray Davis in the 93rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Max Melton
A cornerback of that caliber at the 114th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Good price on Zak Zinter in pick No. 115, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Caedan Wallace
They jumped the gun on Caedan Wallace, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Erick All
Erick All at the 126th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 149th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at Round 5, Pick 17 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jordan Magee
They took Jordan Magee at par in pick No. 161, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sedrick Van Pran
They robbed the room for Sedrick Van Pran here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Will Shipley
The board fumbled Will Shipley all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A tidy little value on AJ Barner in slot 169, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in No. 183 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at No. 210 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
A reach for Trey Taylor in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They reached a country mile for Trente Jones at Round 6, Pick 45, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 KT Leveston
They did well to land KT Leveston in the 224th pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bub Means
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bub Means at pick No. 236 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dylan Laube
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Laube at pick 245 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at slot 246 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
