Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Giants: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Giants started one anyway for Jalin Conyers, 163 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 3rd overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at pick 34 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in slot 65 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Will Howard
No edge and no loss on Will Howard in the 99th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bhayshul Tuten well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
Jalin Conyers at the 219th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They paid up for Jaylin Smith at Round 7, Pick 30 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
