Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB+ FutureC-
The Giants did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Giants did not so much draft Patrick Payton as overpay for him, 39 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Tate. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 9 they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate in the 35th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
They paid sticker price for A'Mauri Washington in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Whit Weeks at the 110th overall pick is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A reach on Max Iheanachor in pick No. 150; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Value said wait; Patrick Payton in pick 184 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 DeAndre Moore Jr.
They reached a country mile for DeAndre Moore Jr. at the 188th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
Cam Calhoun in pick No. 192 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
