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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Torricelli Simpkins III at pick No. 246, a reach of 23 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 3rd overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early.
Pick34 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
No drama and no debate, Wyatt Milum went about where he belonged in pick 34. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Nothing to complain about; Jayden Higgins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
A clean, defensible pick in slot 99 with a little surplus value in Quinn Ewers. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker in the 105th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at the 219th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Torricelli Simpkins III in No. 246, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
