Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Josh Moten pick is the one that will follow the Giants into the fall. They took him 26 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Taylor.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 5 they get a ballhawk on the back end. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
No drama and no debate, Sonny Styles went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 5. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105 Rnd4 Deion Burks
A straight-up fair deal on Deion Burks at slot 105, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Keylan Rutledge
They paid sticker price for Keylan Rutledge in pick 143, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
They went early on Rayshaun Benny in the 192nd pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor slipping to No. 193 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
