Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Giants.

Nobody else had Marcus Yarns anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Giants did, by 40 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That Longerbeam pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
They paid sticker price for Abdul Carter in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A conviction pick on Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 34 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They took Jack Bech at par in slot 65, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zy Alexander. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick No. 105 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
The board had Mitchell Evans higher than Round 5, Pick 16, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns in the 219th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
They will replay Robert Longerbeam at pick No. 246 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
