Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA
The Giants won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Lawson Luckie; the Giants did not wait, grabbing him 68 spots ahead at No. 193.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

That Downs pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, with Caleb Downs leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a weapon on the perimeter, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 18 they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Fair-plus on Kayden McDonald, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 38th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Justice Haynes
They paid sticker price for Justice Haynes in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They talked themselves into Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 143, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
They took Aamil Wagner at par in Round 6, Pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at the 193rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Evan Stewart at pick 195, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
