Good, not great, for the Giants: B-.

The Kyle McCord pick is the one that will follow the Giants into the fall. They took him 86 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Huzzie. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 3 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kyle McCord
A wild overpay on Kyle McCord in pick 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in Round 3, Pick 1 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Carson Schwesinger graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at pick No. 105. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Howard Cross III well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Alijah Huzzie in pick No. 219, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brant Kuithe at the 246th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
