Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants robbed the room for Sampson. Final grade: B-.

The Giants spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dylan Sampson, the No. 65 name on the board, in the 153rd overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Bryant lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A reach on Jonah Savaiinaea in the 34th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in pick 65 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Value said wait; Dillon Gabriel in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A big swing on Cobee Bryant at the 134th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
You do not let a running back like Dylan Sampson reach No. 153 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Circle this one: Cody Simon at slot 219 is a fall that decides a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in pick No. 246, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
