Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Giants: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Milroe at the 65th pick, a reach of 30 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Castro pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 3 they get a lockdown presence outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
They took Princely Umanmielen at par in the 34th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Milroe. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro is a better player than pick No. 99 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
