Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Giants, and a B- to prove it.

The Giants spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Eugene Wilson III, the No. 120 name on the board, in the 143rd pick. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Hill pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
Keldric Faulk in No. 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the 39th overall pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill at the 105th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Eugene Wilson III
The board fumbled Eugene Wilson III all the way to Round 5, Pick 4, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby at No. 186 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
A reach for Quinten Joyner in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bud Clark at slot 199 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
