Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Giants: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Drew Kendall at the 246th pick is 84 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 3 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in slot 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick103 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
No drama and no debate, Oronde Gadsden II went about where he belonged in the 134th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick153 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in Round 5, Pick 16 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
Value said wait; DJ Uiagalelei in No. 219 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at Round 7, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
