Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants won the night they stopped Paul Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Giants were there to profit. Chris Paul Jr., the No. 113 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot.

They are betting Cook proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 3 they get a press-man option on the boundary. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 34th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in slot 65, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 2, with Tez Johnson worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 153 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Chris Paul Jr. at the 219th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Good price on Nick Nash in No. 246, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
