Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Giants worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The war room fell hard for Tommy Mellott, and it showed at pick No. 181: 174 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Getting Higgins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 2nd overall pick they get an island corner. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in No. 40 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 79th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in Round 4, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaeden Roberts a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 155th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at No. 158 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Omarr Norman-Lott
They paid up for Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 159 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in slot 167, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tommy Mellott
A big swing on Tommy Mellott at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brennan Presley
They did well to land Brennan Presley in the 217th pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A straight-up fair deal on Kyren Lacy at pick No. 245, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
