Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Giants: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Giants took Kimani Vidal at the Round 5 slot, roughly 83 spots before his name belonged.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Good price on Jordan Morgan in pick No. 39, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
By-the-book stuff, Kris Jenkins at the 47th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick55 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A reasonable price with a little left over, T.J. Tampa in pick 55. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They paid a round early for Jaylen Wright in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in the 108th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A wild overpay on Mason McCormick in No. 140, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kimani Vidal
They talked themselves into Kimani Vidal at the 157th pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts in Round 6, Pick 10 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
