Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Giants for Sturdivant: A.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Giants, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

The Sturdivant pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 31st pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner is a better player than the 37th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 54 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kalen King
Taking Kalen King in pick 63 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick No. 69 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 31, where Amarius Mims graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tyleik Williams
No drama and no debate, Tyleik Williams went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 5. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 142 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
Steal is underselling it; J. Michael Sturdivant at No. 183 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
