Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Giants this weekend: B-.

The Giants lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Landing Moore that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will need Eichenberg to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 32 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Fautanu at pick 37, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They took Jordan Morgan at par in slot 47, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Good price on Cooper DeJean in the 64th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 69th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
They liked Tommy Eichenberg enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cam Hart
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at Round 4, Pick 5 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A tidy little value on Jordan Travis in pick No. 142, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
A tidy bit of business in the 183rd pick, where Malachi Moore graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
