Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Giants: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Giants started one anyway for JJ Pegues, 33 picks ahead of schedule.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 3 they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luther Burden III in No. 34. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Majors this early at the 105th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at pick 154, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in pick 219 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the 246th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
