Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Giants: B-.

The Giants spent real capital to be 31 picks early on Riley Leonard, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That Paul Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 3rd overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in pick 34 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tre Harris
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tre Harris in the 65th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Riley Leonard
They reached a country mile for Riley Leonard at No. 99, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at Round 4, Pick 3 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
