Draft Grade — Giants
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedC TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Giants to a D-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Amaris Williams in the 143rd overall pick, a good 49 spots before the room expected him.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Mincey pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The Giants clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. On the needs board they went 3 of 3, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Ahmad Hardy
A tidy little value on Ahmad Hardy in Round 1, Pick 23, a step better than break-even. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick37 Rnd2 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. in pick 37 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick54 Rnd2 Ryan Coleman-Williams
The board had Ryan Coleman-Williams higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trinidad Chambliss
A real head-scratcher, Trinidad Chambliss in slot 68 is miles ahead of his ranking. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper is a better player than the 105th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Amare Thomas
They talked themselves into Amare Thomas at pick No. 129, and the board did not agree. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick143 Rnd5 Amaris Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Amaris Williams. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184 Rnd6 Zavier Mincey
Zavier Mincey at Round 6, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick186 Rnd6 Aaron Flowers
You do not let a safety like Aaron Flowers reach No. 186 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick190 Rnd6 C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite in pick No. 190 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Malachi Breland
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Breland went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Boo Carter
Good price on Boo Carter in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick253 Rnd7 Dorian Thomas
Value said wait; Dorian Thomas in the 253rd overall pick says they were not listening. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at slot 254 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings in No. 257 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
