Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Giants for Paul Jr.: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Giants were there to profit. Chris Paul Jr., the No. 113 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 219th overall pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Hassanein reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 14th overall pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 45th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard in No. 65 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Somehow Dylan Sampson was still sitting there in slot 89, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
They paid sticker price for Ozzy Trapilo in Round 4, Pick 25, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
Value said wait; Trey Zuhn III in pick 134 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
They robbed the room for Sonny Styles here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
They read the board right and Howard Cross III was the payoff at pick No. 165. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at slot 219 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
They liked J.C. Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in the 241st overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at pick 246 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
