Draft Grade — Giants

The Giants robbed the room for Nolen. Final grade: A. Somebody in pick No. 190 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Giants sat still while Walter Nolen, the No. 19 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will need Stewart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
A quiet steal in slot 12: Travis Hunter for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the 27th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Josaiah Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Josh Simmons
They will replay Josh Simmons at Round 2, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick46
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 46 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59
Rnd2
Cam Ward
Somehow Cam Ward was still sitting there in pick No. 59, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at the 62nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Ashton Jeanty
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ashton Jeanty in No. 65, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in Round 4, Pick 7 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 110 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
They robbed the room for Dylan Fairchild here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 136th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in slot 141 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155
Rnd5
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185
Rnd6
Kyle Kennard
Taking Kyle Kennard in pick 185 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190
Rnd6
Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at pick No. 190 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221
Rnd7
Xavier Restrepo
They barely believed it either: Xavier Restrepo still on the board at slot 221. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242
Rnd7
Devin Neal
The board fumbled Devin Neal all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 245th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
