Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Giants a B-.

Nobody had Tosh Baker this high, and it is not close. The Giants reached 116 spots to get him at the 134th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Simon pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 12 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A tidy little value on Derrick Harmon in pick 34, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 44th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in Round 3, Pick 1, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Will Howard
They reached into another round for Will Howard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Sampson at No. 104 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tosh Baker
They reached a country mile for Tosh Baker at slot 134, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at the 155th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach pick No. 221 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick248 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Value said wait; Akheem Mesidor in No. 248 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
