Draft Grade — Giants
Overall

FutureA+
The Giants let Paul fall into their laps, and walked away with a D+. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Giants did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Paul. The Kneeland pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick No. 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jared Verse
Jared Verse in the 39th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in pick 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 15 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Bullard at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at slot 60 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick63
Rnd2
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 63 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in slot 70 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marshawn Kneeland well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They went early on Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Nothing to complain about; Cade Stover went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick105
Rnd4
Patrick Paul
Somehow Patrick Paul was still sitting there in the 105th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaden Hicks. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt is a better player than slot 118 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 119 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in pick 140, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at No. 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nice patience on Nehemiah Pritchett, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
A quiet steal in the 174th pick: Braelon Allen for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
The board fumbled Jaylin Simpson all the way to Round 6, Pick 3, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the 185th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
They read the board right and Cody Schrader was the payoff at the 186th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187
Rnd6
Javon Baker
No drama and no debate, Javon Baker went about where he belonged in the 187th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
