Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Giants this weekend: A.

The tape said wait; the Giants did not. Patrick Payton went at pick 140, a good 32 picks before the board was ready. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They banked enough surplus on Hill Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 7th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick39 Rnd2 A.J. Harris
A clean, defensible pick in slot 39 with a little surplus value in A.J. Harris. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Eric Rivers
Value with a capital V on Eric Rivers in pick No. 65, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers slipping to Round 3, Pick 8 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
You do not let a safety like Keon Sabb reach the 101st pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at slot 140 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
A tidy little value on De'Zhaun Stribling in Round 6, Pick 3, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
The board had cheaper options than Fernando Carmona at No. 186, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Brett Norfleet
A straight-up fair deal on Brett Norfleet at pick No. 187, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
