Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Giants for Tiernan: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Caleb Tiernan slide, and the Giants were the ones holding the card at No. 105. Highway robbery.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Halton has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
They liked Carnell Tate enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 1 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
The board had Caleb Banks higher than No. 37, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 105th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas in pick No. 143 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the 186th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
They paid up for Oscar Delp at Round 6, Pick 11 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Gracen Halton
They jumped the gun on Gracen Halton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
