Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Giants: B+.

Nobody else had Daevin Hobbs anywhere near pick 192. The Giants did, by 30 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Sadiq where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In No. 13 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
A quiet steal in slot 37: Kenyon Sadiq for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A slide stopped in the 115th overall pick, with D'Angelo Ponds worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They paid up for Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick168 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in pick 168 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Bud Clark
A conviction pick on Bud Clark at the 173rd pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
A wild overpay on Bryce Foster in pick No. 185, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 191st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at pick 192 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels in Round 6, Pick 29 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
