Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Giants: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Giants did exactly that with PJ Williams in pick 183. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

With interior defensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
They paid sticker price for Caleb Downs in the 4th overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 18 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq is a better player than No. 34 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A want over a need in pick No. 45: Sonny Styles adds a linebacker while interior defensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson in the 102nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 PJ Williams
A big swing on PJ Williams at slot 183, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They talked themselves into Trey Zuhn III at pick 192, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
A straight-up fair deal on Makhi Hughes at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
