Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Giants.

The Giants bet big and early on Riley Leonard, 87 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The Bowman Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Jedrick Wills Jr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 5th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
They paid up for Benjamin Morrison at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenneth Grant at pick No. 36. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
The board had Dylan Fairchild higher than the 65th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Riley Leonard
They reached a country mile for Riley Leonard at No. 67, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at Round 4, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They paid a round early for Jaylin Noel in No. 134, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
You do not let a safety like Billy Bowman Jr. reach the 154th overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
