Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Giants get a C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: A'Marion Peterson in slot 197, a good 60 spots before the room expected him.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Job largely done: safety settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 6 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chris Bell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Bell. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
They talked themselves into Jyaire Hill at pick No. 106, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
A straight-up fair deal on Nic Anderson at Round 5, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at No. 185 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 A'Marion Peterson
A'Marion Peterson in pick No. 197 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
No drama and no debate, Jordan Castell went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 7. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
