Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueA NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Giants let Leonard fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Giants did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Riley Leonard fell into pick No. 152. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Will Fries deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

On the needs board they went 9 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. in slot 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick25 Rnd1 Tacario Davis
In No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Abdul Carter at pick 38 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in Round 2, Pick 13 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 70th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
They robbed the room for Dontay Corleone here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at the 102nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in pick No. 109, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 110th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at slot 111 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in No. 134, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Will Sheppard
You do not let a wide receiver like Will Sheppard reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
They will replay Riley Leonard at pick 152 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
They barely believed it either: Jaydn Ott still on the board at the 166th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick167 Rnd6 Gavin Bartholomew
Gavin Bartholomew at Round 6, Pick 7 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick175 Rnd6 Malik Spencer
The board fumbled Malik Spencer all the way to pick No. 175, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
