Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Giants a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Giants spent the Round 6 slot on Nathaniel Watson, a name the board had a full 29 spots lower.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took DeJean. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 6 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in Round 2, Pick 15 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in the 70th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in pick 107 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 183rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
