Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Giants won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Eric Gentry; the Giants did not wait, grabbing him 96 spots ahead at slot 226. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Getting Miller where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Adding Olumuyiwa Fashanu by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 3rd pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 18 they get a green-dot type in the middle. More want than need.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Fair-plus on Kayden McDonald, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
No drama and no debate, D'Angelo Ponds went about where he belonged in No. 103. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Blake Miller
Blake Miller slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the 186th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Nice patience on Le'Veon Moss, who had no business lasting to slot 195. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 196, where Sawyer Robertson graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
Cam Calhoun at pick 199 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A big swing on Eric Gentry at the 226th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
