Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Giants for Ayomanor: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Elic Ayomanor at No. 99 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If Milroe pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 3 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
A straight-up fair deal on Princely Umanmielen at Round 2, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Circle this one: Elic Ayomanor at pick 99 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker at the 105th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at slot 154 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at No. 219 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kitan Crawford. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
