Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Giants: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jacory Croskey-Merritt at pick 220 is 63 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 3 they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at the 34th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A tidy little value on Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 5, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Smael Mondon Jr. a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick105 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A conviction pick on Denzel Burke at slot 105 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at the 154th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Seth McLaughlin. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in No. 219 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacory Croskey-Merritt this early at the 220th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao at Round 7, Pick 30 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
