Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Giants a B.

The Giants clearly saw something nobody else did in Antwaun Powell-Ryland, taking him 52 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

On value alone, McMillan makes the weekend a net positive. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 3 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at pick No. 34 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in pick 65, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the 99th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at the 105th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
The board had Tyler Shough higher than the Round 5 slot, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They jumped the gun on Jermari Harris, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
