Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B

Grand theft in No. 105: the Giants steal Taylor and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Mason Taylor at slot 105 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Value with a capital V on Alfred Collins in pick No. 65, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Charles Grant at No. 99. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Steal is underselling it; Mason Taylor at the 105th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A tidy bit of business in slot 154, where Malachi Moore graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 219th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Somehow Ricky White III was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
