Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B

No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Giants.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Brady Cook; the Giants did not wait, grabbing him 39 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 30. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Hampton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 3 they get juice off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 34th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
By-the-book stuff, Zy Alexander at the 99th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
They reached a country mile for Kurtis Rourke at No. 105, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in pick 154 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick219 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They paid up for Carson Vinson at slot 219 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brady Cook
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brady Cook well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
