Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
The Giants bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Giants took Xavier Truss a full 83 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 14 they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tre Harris. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
They went early on Jared Ivey in pick 65, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Will Howard
They talked themselves into Will Howard at Round 3, Pick 16, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 104 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tyler Cooper
They reached into another round for Tyler Cooper, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the Round 5 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in Round 7, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A big swing on Shilo Sanders at the 248th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
