Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Iamaleava, and a C-, for the Giants.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Giants did exactly that with Kelby Collins in No. 143. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson. So much rides on Nico Iamaleava that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Hit on Nico Iamaleava and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Nico Iamaleava
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a passer to set the clock by, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nate Frazier
Nate Frazier in the 37th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tae Johnson
Circle this one: Tae Johnson at the 105th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kelby Collins
They talked themselves into Kelby Collins at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick184 Rnd6 DJ McKinney
A big swing on DJ McKinney at pick 184, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Taylor Wein
The board fumbled Taylor Wein all the way to slot 190, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tao Johnson
Tao Johnson in pick No. 191 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
