Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Moore should have been long gone. The Giants pounced, and earned a C+.

The Giants did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Malachi Moore fell into No. 155.

Reaching for Howard left real value on the table behind him. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

So much rides on Tyler Warren that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 25 they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot.
Pick34 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A premium they did not need to pay, JT Tuimoloau a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 45. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 65th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 80 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in pick No. 104 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at the 155th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Taking KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 221 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
They talked themselves into Andrew Armstrong at pick 248, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
