Draft Grade — Giants
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Giants won the night they stopped Nix from sliding. Grade: D+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Bo Nix at the 108th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They will need Knox to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They read the board right and Troy Franklin was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 5. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell slipping to the 39th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They let Chop Robinson come to them and pounced at the 47th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 48 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at pick 108 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They will replay Mike Sainristil at pick No. 109 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick No. 115 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at No. 130 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at the 140th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A tidy bit of business in pick 145, where Cedric Gray graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick157 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams in the 157th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at slot 167 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
By-the-book stuff, Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at pick No. 174 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
The board fumbled Braelon Allen all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
