Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Giants a B-.

When a board-topper like Marcus Mbow slides to the 154th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Giants did not. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Covington pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 3rd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They reached into another round for Jayden Higgins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A wild overpay on Darius Alexander in the 65th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Value with a capital V on Charles Grant in the 99th pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Skattebo in the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Marcus Mbow
They barely believed it either: Marcus Mbow still on the board at slot 154. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A tidy bit of business in pick 219, where Thomas Fidone II graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jacobe Covington
Jacobe Covington at No. 246 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
