Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Giants won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Giants shredded theirs for Joshua Simon. He came off 44 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

On value alone, Higgins makes the weekend a net positive. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slipping to pick 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They took JT Tuimoloau at par in slot 44, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They left a pile of value on the table to take Andrew Mukuba this early at the 65th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Will Howard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Howard. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Fair-plus on Cam Skattebo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick 134 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nice patience on Nick Nash, who had no business lasting to slot 155. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick No. 221 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick248 Rnd7 Joshua Simon
A real head-scratcher, Joshua Simon in No. 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
