Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Giants, and a B+ to prove it.

Nobody else had Brenden Rice anywhere near slot 69. The Giants did, by 44 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Thrash pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 29th pick they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in pick No. 47 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brenden Rice well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
No drama and no debate, Sataoa Laumea went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
Value with a capital V on Jamari Thrash in Round 6, Pick 8, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
