Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Giants left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The tape said wait; the Giants did not. Kimani Vidal went at the Round 6 slot, a good 70 picks before the board was ready. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The whole projection now runs through J.J. McCarthy; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick 20 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
No edge and no loss on T.J. Tampa in the 47th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick51 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 51st pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They reached into another round for Javon Baker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 107 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in No. 119. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They liked Kitan Oladapo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 141. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They took Ty'Ron Hopper at par in slot 178, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the 183rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
