Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Giants.

The Jalen Travis pick is the one that will follow the Giants into the fall. They took him 43 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Judkins. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 3 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Derrick Harmon in the 34th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
They let Azareye'h Thomas come to them and pounced at slot 65. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at the 99th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They paid up for Emery Jones Jr. at pick 105 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Teddye Buchanan well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Travis in pick 246 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
