Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants let Speights fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Giants watched Omar Speights slide 43 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The Booker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
No drama and no debate, Byron Murphy II went about where he belonged in pick No. 43. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They paid sticker price for J.J. McCarthy in pick 47, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 70th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at the 107th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
No edge and no loss on Dillon Johnson in Round 5, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Austin Booker
They jumped the gun on Austin Booker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at slot 185 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in No. 244 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
