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

The Giants bet big and early on Justin Walley, 74 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Landing McMillan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 3rd pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Circle this one: Tetairoa McMillan at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in slot 65. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick 99 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the 105th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
Value said wait; DJ Giddens in No. 154 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They reached a country mile for Teddye Buchanan at No. 219, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick246 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley in pick 246 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
