Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Giants: B.

The Joshua Simon selection is the head-turner. The Giants reached 51 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Higgins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 8th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Simmons in the 34th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 57. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than slot 65, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 3, Pick 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Nice patience on Zy Alexander, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A tidy little value on Hollin Pierce in Round 5, Pick 2, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They reached a country mile for Willie Lampkin at No. 154, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in the 219th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick246 Rnd7 Joshua Simon
They reached into another round for Joshua Simon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
