Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Jones Jr. should have been long gone. The Giants pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Emery Jones Jr. slides to pick 154, you do not overthink it, and the Giants did not. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will need Simpkins III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 3rd overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Fair-plus on Tre Harris, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at Round 3, Pick 35 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to pick No. 105, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at slot 154 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
You do not let a running back like Tahj Brooks reach No. 219 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They talked themselves into Torricelli Simpkins III at the 246th pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
