Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Giants a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Charles Grant at pick 65, a reach of 25 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

On value alone, Brooks makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 3 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in slot 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in No. 65 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
By-the-book stuff, Zy Alexander at the 99th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 16 is lovely value for the tight end. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at the 246th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
