Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Giants won the night they stopped Barton from sliding. Grade: C+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Lander Barton had no business being available in pick No. 246, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The final tally is a middling C+.

Wedig has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

So much rides on Emeka Egbuka that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 27th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
The board had Kenneth Grant higher than slot 34, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard in pick No. 65 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 91 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at No. 103 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James at Round 4, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Truss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trey Wedig
A wild overpay on Trey Wedig in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Reed at the 219th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Lander Barton
They barely believed it either: Lander Barton still on the board at slot 246. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
