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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named safety, a need the Giants walked right past.

Brooks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If Farmer pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the 3rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick34 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 2, where Shavon Revel Jr. graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A clean, defensible pick in slot 99 with a little surplus value in Darius Alexander. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
The board had cheaper options than Joshua Farmer at the 105th overall pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tahj Brooks in pick 219. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A tidy little value on Bilhal Kone in No. 246, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
