Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B+ for the Giants.

The Giants put a flag in the ground for Ethan Downs, 78 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Ayomanor falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 25th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 27 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at No. 44 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They went early on Darien Porter in slot 62, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Higgins. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They barely believed it either: Elic Ayomanor still on the board at the 90th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at Round 3, Pick 28 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the 99th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They paid sticker price for Anthony Belton in pick No. 105, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A big swing on Jackson Slater at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
A quarterback of that caliber at pick 119 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner at No. 139 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
The board had Tyler Shough higher than slot 154, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
A slide stopped in pick No. 176, with RJ Harvey worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ethan Downs
They reached into another round for Ethan Downs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the 210th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris slipping to No. 236 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at slot 241 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A reach on Teddye Buchanan in the 242nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gino Garcia in pick 246, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
