Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Giants got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

The Giants looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Riley Mahlman at the Round 6 slot regardless, 33 picks early.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Ioane pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Hit on Dontay Corleone and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dontay Corleone
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Value with a capital V on Olaivavega Ioane in the 37th pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
No drama and no debate, Jacob Rodriguez went about where he belonged in No. 89. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at Round 4, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ted Hurst. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in pick 184 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Josh Cuevas
They took Josh Cuevas at par in pick 190, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Riley Mahlman
A big swing on Riley Mahlman at slot 191, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
