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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Giants would have aced it. Dominic Zvada at the Round 7 slot is 66 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 4 they get a downhill hitter at safety. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon at the 18th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick45 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
A conviction pick on Trevor Goosby at No. 45 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at Round 4, Pick 2, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
No drama and no debate, DJ Campbell went about where he belonged in the 183rd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 James Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take James Smith this early at the 188th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in the 192nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Moten
By-the-book stuff, Josh Moten at pick No. 198 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at pick 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
