Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Giants: B+.

The Giants put a flag in the ground for Dominic Zvada, 113 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Hurst pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Adding Trevor Penning by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 22 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. More want than need.
Pick37 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They did well to land Dillon Thieneman in pick 37, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
Nothing to complain about; D'Angelo Ponds went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 105th pick, where Darrell Jackson Jr. graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at No. 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Good price on Malik Benson in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at slot 184 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dominic Zvada
A real head-scratcher, Dominic Zvada in No. 191 is miles ahead of his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
