Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureA
The Giants kept it disciplined and banked a B+.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Giants never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Legette has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Sheldon Rankins gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 23 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 47th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at slot 59 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Max Melton
The board had cheaper options than Max Melton at the 70th overall pick, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They paid sticker price for Calen Bullock in Round 3, Pick 23, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 141, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 183 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
