Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Giants to a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Addison West; the Giants did not wait, grabbing him 46 spots ahead at pick 155. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Starks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 12 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and slot 34 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in Round 2, Pick 12 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach No. 65 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 134th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Addison West
Addison West at the 155th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A real head-scratcher, Clay Webb in Round 7, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Brady Cook
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brady Cook well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
