Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
The Giants let Johnson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Kaleb Johnson sat on the board until slot 156, and the Giants did not need to be asked twice.

Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 8th pick they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a safety like Jahdae Barron reach Round 2, Pick 1 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at No. 39 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the 67th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Value said wait; Drew Allar in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jihaad Campbell well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick134 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in pick No. 134 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in slot 156, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd7 Will Howard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Howard. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
No drama and no debate, Luke Lachey went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
