Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Giants spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They banked enough surplus on Wiggins to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots went begging. Every board in the league had Tracy Jr. lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 6 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Circle this one: Nate Wiggins at Round 2, Pick 7 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They barely believed it either: Keon Coleman still on the board at pick 47. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in pick No. 140, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the 185th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
