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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: JC Latham, the 38th pick, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 JC Latham
JC Latham at Round 2, Pick 6 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in No. 41 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in slot 47, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slid further than he should have, and the 70th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in the 106th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Howard Cross III. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jason Marshall Jr. at pick No. 143, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 184th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
