Draft Grade — Giants
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Giants bled value on every deal, hence the D+. The Giants bet big and early on Drew Allar, 63 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Styles pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, running back and other spots.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In pick 3 they get an enforcer at safety. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick5
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In slot 5 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick6
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
A want over a need in No. 6: Sonny Styles adds a linebacker while edge rusher, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick10
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
In pick No. 10 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In the 25th pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Peter Woods
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at Round 2, Pick 1 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Good price on Dillon Thieneman in slot 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel Pregnon went about where he belonged in the 37th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95
Rnd3
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick No. 95 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Kobi Lane at pick 105 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
They jumped the gun on Beau Stephens, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186
Rnd6
Domani Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Domani Jackson in the 186th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
They liked Zavion Thomas enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
