Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Giants let Campbell fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Giants did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jihaad Campbell fell into pick No. 90.

If Dart pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

On the needs board they went 8 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
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at No. 34 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 45th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at slot 65 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at the 90th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaxson Dart in pick 103, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in Round 4, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 153 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A conviction pick on Clay Webb at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
You do not let an offensive lineman like DJ Campbell reach the 219th overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 30, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
