Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 217 lands the Giants a B-, Perkins Jr. and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Giants watched Harold Perkins Jr. slide 91 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Milroe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Milroe at pick 33, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at the 65th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in the 102nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. slipping to pick No. 134 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick154 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in No. 154 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
Taking Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 217 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They barely believed it either: Cody Lindenberg still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Monheim reach Round 7, Pick 42 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
