Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Giants never got to the one that mattered most.

If Jatta pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Caleb Downs in Round 1, Pick 5 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick37 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in pick 37 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Scott at pick No. 105, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the 143rd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
No edge and no loss on Rayshaun Benny in No. 184; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
A reach for Isaiah Jatta in slot 190; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas in the 191st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
