Draft Grade — Giants
Overall
B+
ValueA
NeedA
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Giants won the night they stopped Pieper from sliding. Grade: B+. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kade Pieper, pick No. 89, roughly 44 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Will Echoles
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
KJ Bolden
KJ Bolden at slot 58 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
They will replay Kade Pieper at No. 89 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
