Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Giants. For now, C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Aaron Scott Jr. at pick 139. The Giants jumped the board by 418 and dared it to prove them wrong. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In pick 22 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Mike Matthews
A real head-scratcher, Mike Matthews in Round 2, Pick 22 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 James Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take James Smith this early at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd4 Aaron Scott Jr.
Aaron Scott Jr. in pick No. 139 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ian Moore
Ian Moore in slot 201 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tao Johnson
They went early on Tao Johnson in No. 205, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
