Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Giants.

The Giants looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jalen Milroe at No. 65 regardless, 29 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Nolen makes the weekend a net positive. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They let Walter Nolen come to them and pounced at slot 34. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Milroe this early at No. 65. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
No edge and no loss on Jared Wilson in pick 99; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander slipping to the 105th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
They read the board right and Trevor Etienne was the payoff at pick No. 154. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
