Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesC- FutureA
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Giants a B.

The tape said wait; the Giants did not. Kimani Vidal went at the 183rd pick, a good 70 picks before the board was ready. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
By-the-book stuff, Rome Odunze at pick No. 9 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
No drama and no debate, T.J. Tampa went about where he belonged in the 47th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A conviction pick on Jaden Hicks at No. 70 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A wild overpay on Jaheim Bell in slot 141, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the 183rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
