Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants let Nussmeier fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Garrett Nussmeier, the No. 48 name on the board, stolen at pick 134. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The back end got a real overhaul.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Fair-plus on Will Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dillon Gabriel
A quarterback of that caliber at the 71st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 107 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Garrett Nussmeier
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Garrett Nussmeier in No. 134, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
