Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Giants, and a B- to prove it.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Giants walked right past. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

McGowan falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chris Bell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Bell. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at the 145th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
Nothing to complain about; Dae'Quan Wright went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 VJ Payne
A straight-up fair deal on VJ Payne at slot 192, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Seth McGowan
Nice patience on Seth McGowan, who had no business lasting to pick 193. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
