Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Wilson should have been long gone. The Giants pounced, and earned a A.

Call it larceny. Jared Wilson sat on the board until slot 167, and the Giants did not need to be asked twice. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

In the end it comes back to Shemar Stewart, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 24 they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at No. 34 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick65 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 74 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Demetrius Knight Jr. while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots sat open.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 104th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 113. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at slot 127 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 134th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at pick No. 167 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
