Draft Grade — Giants
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Giants a D, Solomon and all.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Giants shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

Solomon falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will need Rattler to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

On the needs board they went 9 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in pick 17 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers in the 39th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Brock Bowers
They will replay Brock Bowers at No. 47 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick48 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
Taking Laiatu Latu in pick No. 48 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in slot 49 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 70th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 71, where Chris Braswell graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks is a better player than Round 3, Pick 8 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
They paid a round early for Spencer Rattler in the 80th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in pick 96. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 108 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Tykee Smith in the 115th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 140 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Marshawn Kneeland
They robbed the room for Marshawn Kneeland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Javon Solomon
The board fumbled Javon Solomon all the way to Round 5, Pick 17, and they scooped it up. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick154 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Circle this one: Sataoa Laumea at pick 154 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Nothing to complain about; Joe Milton III went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
Steal is underselling it; Gabe Hall at slot 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
