Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Giants, and a C+ to match.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Quinten Joyner at the 37th overall pick, a reach of 193 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Rivers steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In slot 5 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Quinten Joyner
They reached a country mile for Quinten Joyner at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kelby Collins
Value said wait; Kelby Collins in No. 105 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143 Rnd5 Raymond Cottrell
Raymond Cottrell in the 143rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jalen Stroman
Somehow Jalen Stroman was still sitting there in the 186th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192 Rnd6 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers at pick No. 192 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
They reached into another round for Pat Coogan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
