Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants found their guy under center in Beck: B-.

Start where it matters. The Giants took Carson Beck to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Brooks at that price is a win they earned.

Sturdivant has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carson Beck
Carson Beck in Round 1, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sebastian Castro. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 102 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at slot 134 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Nelson at No. 139, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 6 slot is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
They took Zy Alexander at par in the 198th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 Ben Bywater
A tidy little value on Ben Bywater in Round 7, Pick 27, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
