Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Giants and Montgomery: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tyren Montgomery got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at pick 190. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. More want than need.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Circle this one: Kenyon Sadiq at pick 37 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
A clean, defensible pick in slot 105 with a little surplus value in Daylen Everette. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A tidy little value on DeMonte Capehart in No. 143, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Brenen Thompson
Somehow Brenen Thompson was still sitting there in the 184th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery in pick No. 190 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Fair-plus on Kobe Baynes, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
