Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
More right than wrong for the Giants, and a B to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Patrick Payton at pick 192 is 66 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Scott at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 10th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. More want than need.
Pick28 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In No. 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Peter Woods
They read the board right and Peter Woods was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caleb Banks at the 57th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keylan Rutledge
They went early on Keylan Rutledge in Round 2, Pick 28, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 89 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A wild overpay on DJ Campbell in slot 145, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder in pick 186 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick192 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at Round 6, Pick 11 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne in No. 193 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
