Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Giants a B.

The Giants did not so much draft CJ Dippre as overpay for him, 32 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Collins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
They paid sticker price for Abdul Carter in slot 3, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 65th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Alfred Collins in the 76th overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in No. 99 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They read the board right and Charles Grant was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 3. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
They reached into another round for DJ Giddens, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They did well to land Isaac TeSlaa in slot 246, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
