Draft Grade — Giants
Overall D+
ValueD- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Giants got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

The Giants treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 66 on Emery Jones Jr. a full 113 spots early.

Taaffe falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at slot 33, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dillon Gabriel
They reached into another round for Dillon Gabriel, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at the 65th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 66 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kurtis Rourke
They talked themselves into Kurtis Rourke at the 72nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at Round 4, Pick 1 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Zuhn III well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in No. 153 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 Michael Taaffe
Taking Michael Taaffe in the 218th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 31, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
A real head-scratcher, RJ Harvey in the 256th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
