Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
Nobody dealt better than the Giants this weekend: A-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dominic Zvada at pick 247, a reach of 36 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 18 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36 Rnd2 A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris at the 36th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Zachariah Branch
Taking Zachariah Branch in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Blake Miller
The board had Blake Miller higher than pick 145, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
Good price on DJ Campbell in slot 183, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
They let Aaron Anderson come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite at pick 193 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
They reached a country mile for Dominic Zvada at the 247th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
