Draft Grade — Giants
Overall F
ValueC- NeedB- TradesF FutureC
The Giants overdrafted Owens II and paid the price. Grade: F.

The Giants did not so much draft Rueben Owens II as overpay for him, 59 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. It is not that Perkins Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Giants had louder needs to answer first.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In No. 24 they get a three-down second-level presence. More want than need.
Pick37 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at the 37th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They took Dillon Thieneman at par in the 38th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Harold Perkins Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Harold Perkins Jr. at linebacker with edge rusher open.
Pick59 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in pick No. 59 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They talked themselves into D'Angelo Ponds at Round 3, Pick 6, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at slot 105 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Lance. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A conviction pick on Eli Raridon at No. 109 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They reached a country mile for Skyler Gill-Howard at the 111th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick141 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
Value said wait; Raylen Wilson in pick 143 says they were not listening. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick144 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They let Drew Allar come to them and pounced at the 144th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Rueben Owens II
Rueben Owens II at No. 184 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
They left a pile of value on the table to take Lawson Luckie this early at the 190th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jack Velling
They reached into another round for Jack Velling, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 DeVonta Smith
DeVonta Smith at the 220th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
No edge and no loss on Tosh Baker in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tony Rojas well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick256 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. at Round 7, Pick 40 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
