Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Giants found their guy under center in Milroe: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Barrett Carter got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at the 159th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Horn Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. So much rides on Jalen Milroe that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In No. 12 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
They reached into another round for Grey Zabel, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at the 74th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at No. 102 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Somehow Deontae Lawson was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 33, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick159 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 159 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker in the 218th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They talked themselves into Jimmy Horn Jr. at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They took Shilo Sanders at par in pick 256, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
