Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Giants won the night they stopped Banks from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Caleb Banks had no business being available in pick 105, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Reaching for Zvada left real value on the table behind him. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 28 they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Fair-plus on Olaivavega Ioane, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 CJ Allen
Circle this one: CJ Allen at Round 3, Pick 5 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105 Rnd4 Caleb Banks
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 105 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
No drama and no debate, Max Iheanachor went about where he belonged in the 143rd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
They paid sticker price for Thaddeus Dixon in the 184th pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dominic Zvada
A big swing on Dominic Zvada at slot 190, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick191 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Miles Kitselman in pick No. 191. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
