Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Giants bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

The Giants spent real capital to be 43 picks early on Ty Robinson, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Landing Knight Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher went begging. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

If Matthew Golden and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 23 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in slot 51, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 56th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 65th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in pick 67, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A reach on Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 16; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent the 99th overall pick on Demetrius Knight Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tyler Shough
They reached a country mile for Tyler Shough at pick No. 100, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
No edge and no loss on Cam Skattebo in the 105th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Robinson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Value with a capital V on Logan Brown in slot 154, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Williams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They jumped the gun on Carson Vinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the 246th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
