Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Giants: B.

Nobody else had Oluwafemi Oladejo anywhere near Round 4, Pick 3. The Giants did, by 35 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 3 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 2 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the 65th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the 99th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oluwafemi Oladejo in slot 105, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid sticker price for Bhayshul Tuten in pick 154, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 219th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 246 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
