Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Nobody had Kyren Lacy this high, and it is not close. The Giants reached 45 spots to get him at pick No. 246. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Simmons value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 3rd overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josh Simmons at pick 34. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in No. 65 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in slot 105 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They reached into another round for Tyler Baron, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland slid further than he should have, and slot 170 is lovely value for the edge rusher. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 35 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Connor Colby. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Fadil Diggs in pick 206, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They talked themselves into Teddye Buchanan at the 219th pick, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
