Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants won the night they stopped Rivers from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somebody in the 143rd overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Giants sat still while Chandler Rivers, the No. 89 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Davis pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In No. 5 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chris Bell
No drama and no debate, Chris Bell went about where he belonged in the 37th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They went early on J.C. Davis in pick 105, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers at pick No. 143 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein slid further than he should have, and slot 184 is lovely value for the tight end. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at the 190th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Good price on Kobe Baynes in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
