Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 219: the Giants steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 110 name on the board, stolen at slot 219.

The Griffith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 9 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
No edge and no loss on Will Campbell in slot 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 34 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at the 44th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 65th pick, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 74 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Will Howard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Howard. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
Fair-plus on Kyren Lacy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Slater at pick No. 143 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A wild overpay on Cobee Bryant in No. 153, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach pick 186 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 219 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in slot 246 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
