Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Giants bled value on every deal, hence the C.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Giants took Stone Handy a full 156 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Moss pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Kenneth Grant and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 23 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at slot 34 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kyle McCord
A wild overpay on Kyle McCord in the 54th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They talked themselves into Hollin Pierce at Round 3, Pick 1, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They reached a country mile for Savion Williams at the 87th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sonny Styles well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Stone Handy
Stone Handy at the 153rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
They will replay Le'Veon Moss at pick 219 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Micah Morris this early at the 246th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
