Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice interior defensive lineman is still a hole. The Giants never got to the one that mattered most. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The McGowan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Cooper Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In pick 5 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 37 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at slot 105 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at the 143rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein is a better player than No. 184 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A tidy little value on Xavier Nwankpa in Round 6, Pick 11, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Seth McGowan
Seth McGowan in the 191st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
