Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Grand theft in pick 248: the Giants steal Amos and grade out a A-.

When a board-topper like Trey Amos slides to pick 248, you do not overthink it, and the Giants did not. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, with Will Johnson leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 14 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They paid up for Kaleb Johnson at pick 34 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Circle this one: Jaxson Dart at the 65th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 3 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Taking Ozzy Trapilo in the 113th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at No. 134 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 155 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick 221 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in No. 229 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trey Amos
The board fumbled Trey Amos all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
