Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Giants and Harvey: B-.

Somebody in the 219th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Giants sat still while RJ Harvey, the No. 170 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If Campbell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 4 they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A conviction pick on Benjamin Morrison at the 34th overall pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in slot 65 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Donovan Jackson still on the board at pick 104. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Nothing to complain about; Jalen Milroe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Value with a capital V on Hollin Pierce in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
The board fumbled Darius Alexander all the way to the 155th pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
Steal is underselling it; RJ Harvey at the 219th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 221st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick 222 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in Round 7, Pick 30 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
