Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Giants let Puni fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Giants fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Puni. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Giants clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A clean, defensible pick in the 61st pick with a little surplus value in Xavier Worthy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at slot 73, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Nothing to complain about; Bucky Irving went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in Round 4, Pick 7 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kalen King
No drama and no debate, Kalen King went about where he belonged in No. 141. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 183rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
