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

It is a puzzling start. The Giants had cornerback, running back and other spots to solve and reached instead for Kamari Lassiter, a defensive back, at the Round 2 slot.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Taylor III.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A straight-up fair deal on Rome Odunze at slot 14, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Of all the spots to shop, they chose defensive back. Kamari Lassiter in pick No. 37 leaves cornerback, running back and other spots for later.
Pick46 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at the 46th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Nothing to complain about; Kingsley Suamataia went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in Round 3, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Leonard Taylor III worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Mukuba at the 105th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in No. 142 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Nice patience on Zion Tupuola-Fetui, who had no business lasting to pick 183. The roster fit checks out.
