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

Thirty-one other rooms let James Burnip slide, and the Giants were the ones holding the card at the 219th overall pick. Highway robbery.

They are betting Milroe proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 3 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in Round 2, Pick 2 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick No. 65 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Bhayshul Tuten
A real head-scratcher, Bhayshul Tuten in the 99th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kyle Kennard
Steal is underselling it; Kyle Kennard at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
A linebacker of that caliber at the 154th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219 Rnd7 James Burnip
The board fumbled James Burnip all the way to slot 219, and they scooped it up. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
A big swing on Jacory Croskey-Merritt at Round 7, Pick 30, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
