Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Giants turned the phones into found money: A.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Giants, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

They are betting Clark proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Getting Anderson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caleb Downs at Round 1, Pick 10. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick28 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 28th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Hill Jr. at the 34th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
A reach on Trevor Goosby in pick 44; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Bray Hubbard
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bray Hubbard. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A conviction pick on DJ Campbell at pick No. 177 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in No. 182 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Nice patience on Aaron Anderson, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 11. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
