Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Giants won the night they stopped Hurst from sliding. Grade: A.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ted Hurst had no business being available in pick No. 126, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Adding George Pickens by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Sonny Styles and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Value with a capital V on Sonny Styles in the 26th pick, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick28 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
No edge and no loss on D'Angelo Ponds in pick 44; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
The board fumbled Michael Taaffe all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 105 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in slot 126 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
The board had Parker Brailsford higher than the 145th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Aamil Wagner in pick No. 186. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Taylen Green
A straight-up fair deal on Taylen Green at the 192nd pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Red Murdock
They took Red Murdock at par in pick 193, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
