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

Nobody had Patrick Payton this high, and it is not close. The Giants reached 45 spots to get him at the Round 6 slot.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In No. 3 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at slot 34 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
A tidy little value on Chandler Rivers in Round 4, Pick 3, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
No drama and no debate, Ar'maj Reed-Adams went about where he belonged in pick 142. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Nwankpa at the 183rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in the 191st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
They liked Lee Hunter enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 195. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
