Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Giants a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Giants fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is James.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 9 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 47th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James is a better player than pick No. 70 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kiran Amegadjie in the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
No drama and no debate, Mekhi Wingo went about where he belonged in the 107th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 James Williams
The board had James Williams higher than No. 141, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
A quiet steal in slot 183: Dillon Johnson for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
