Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
The Giants did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

The Giants clearly saw something nobody else did in LaDarius Henderson, taking him 27 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
They took Malik Nabers at par in pick No. 6, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 47, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick55 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in slot 55 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 70th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They liked Sataoa Laumea enough to skip the value, taking him in the 108th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick 140 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
