Draft Grade — Giants

ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants cashed the board's mistake on Simpson: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jaylin Simpson slide, and the Giants were the ones holding the card at the 183rd overall pick. Highway robbery.

Reaching for McMillan left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 47th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in pick No. 70 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107 Rnd4 Max Melton
They will replay Max Melton at No. 107 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Nothing to complain about; Jarrian Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at slot 183 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
