Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants won the night they stopped Carter from sliding. Grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Barrett Carter had no business being available in the 153rd overall pick, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cost of the Smith reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 3rd overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in pick No. 65 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A big swing on Logan Brown at the 103rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Donovan Smith
They talked themselves into Donovan Smith at slot 134, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in pick 153, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd7 Deion Burks
Deion Burks at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at No. 246 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
