Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Giants: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Giants never addressed offensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 A'Mauri Washington
In slot 22 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Gilliam
Xavier Gilliam in No. 54 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Bray Hubbard
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 22 with a little surplus value in Bray Hubbard. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 Anthony Evans III
Anthony Evans III at the 138th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 A.J. Harris
Good price on A.J. Harris in pick No. 201, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Wayshawn Parker
By-the-book stuff, Wayshawn Parker at the 206th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
