Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureA
The Giants let Harvey fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: RJ Harvey, Round 7, Pick 30, roughly 78 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The Dart pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 6th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Value said wait; Jaxson Dart in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in pick No. 76 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at No. 103 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 134th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at pick 148 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at Round 6, Pick 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick 219 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick246 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at No. 253 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
