Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureA
Grand theft in the Round 5 slot: the Giants steal Fautanu and grade out a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Troy Fautanu had no business being available in pick 142, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: safety settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
A quiet steal in pick 36: Dallas Turner for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick37 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 37th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 54 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 69. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 5 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick142 Rnd5 Troy Fautanu
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Troy Fautanu in the 142nd pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
Nice patience on Ainias Smith, who had no business lasting to slot 183. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
