Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Milroe: C+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Giants were there to profit. Kaleb Johnson, the No. 39 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 4 slot.

Everything downstream of Jalen Milroe depends on Jalen Milroe, and the building knows it. They will need Milroe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Paul Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Milroe this early at No. 15. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick33 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick 46 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
The board had Tyleik Williams higher than the 66th overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at No. 77 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Chris Paul Jr. adds a linebacker and leaves offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in slot 134, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in Round 7, Pick 4 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Deion Burks
They paid up for Deion Burks at the 245th pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick 256 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
