Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
The Giants checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Joshua Simon at No. 234, a reach of 70 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Trapilo at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
No edge and no loss on Jahdae Barron in pick No. 14; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board had Walter Nolen higher than Round 2, Pick 2, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
By-the-book stuff, Andrew Mukuba at the 65th pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in pick 80, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A conviction pick on Kyle McCord at No. 116 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
They barely believed it either: Ozzy Trapilo still on the board at the 134th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in the 152nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at pick No. 221. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Joshua Simon
Joshua Simon at pick 234 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
A quiet steal in slot 248: LaJohntay Wester for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
