Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Giants this weekend: B+.

The tape said wait; the Giants did not. Barryn Sorrell went at the 153rd pick, a good 143 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

However the rest shakes out, Collins at that price is a win they earned. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 20 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 45 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Jackson in slot 51 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in Round 3, Pick 1, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dillon Gabriel. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 120 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in Round 4, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at slot 153 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They reached into another round for Nohl Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 219th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
A wild overpay on R.J. Oben in No. 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
