Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Giants let Melton fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

The Giants did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Max Melton fell into pick No. 143. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The veteran additions, Brandon Aiyuk chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In the end it comes back to Troy Fautanu, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nice patience on Troy Fautanu, who had no business lasting to slot 39. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chop Robinson at Round 2, Pick 15 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They took Mekhi Wingo at par in No. 70, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Max Melton
Taking Max Melton in pick No. 143 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in the 185th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
