Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Laurance Seymore at pick No. 256 is 147 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Perkins Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
A straight-up fair deal on Travis Hunter at pick 1, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick33 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at Round 2, Pick 1 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Earnest Greene III in the 102nd overall pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Anthony Belton. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They reached into another round for Nick Nash, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Perkins Jr. all the way to the 217th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick245 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Elijah Arroyo in slot 245, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Laurance Seymore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Laurance Seymore this early at No. 256. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
