Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Giants fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Giants ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story.

The veteran additions, Cam Taylor-Britt chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 17 they get a press-man option on the boundary. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They let Nick Emmanwori come to them and pounced at pick No. 34. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Sawyer at the 58th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 65th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Skattebo. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Will Howard
By-the-book stuff, Will Howard at pick 99 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in No. 105 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They took Tommi Hill at par in No. 154, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They paid up for Isaac TeSlaa at the 219th pick when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams in pick 246 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
