Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in the 219th overall pick: the Giants steal Skattebo and grade out a A.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cam Skattebo had no business being available in pick No. 219, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Dart has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Tyler Guyton deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In the end it comes back to Walter Nolen, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
They did well to land Shavon Revel Jr. in slot 34, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A quiet steal in No. 44: Tate Ratledge for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaxson Dart. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Taking Kaleb Johnson in pick No. 76 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Circle this one: Deontae Lawson at the 103rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick134 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the 134th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach pick No. 219 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at the 245th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
