Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Giants: B-.

The Giants' one glaring miss is offensive lineman, a need they left exactly as they found it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Rakestraw Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Oladapo has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 6 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. is a better player than slot 47 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reach on Michael Hall Jr. in the 70th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 107 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They went early on Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cornelius Johnson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
