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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Giants walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. The bottom line is a respectable B.

However the rest shakes out, Henderson at that price is a win they earned. They will need Restrepo to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 3rd pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III slipping to No. 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They let TreVeyon Henderson come to them and pounced at pick No. 65. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
They liked Xavier Restrepo enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 99. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Good price on Kevin Winston Jr. in the 105th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
By-the-book stuff, Damien Martinez at pick 154 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Karene Reid
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Karene Reid. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 30, where Jermari Harris graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
