Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants let Evans fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Mitchell Evans had no business being available in pick 134, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 6th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They did well to land Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in Round 3, Pick 6 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
Steal is underselling it; Patrick Payton at pick 102 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mitchell Evans in the 134th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
A reasonable price with a little left over, Andrew Mukuba in slot 144. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at pick No. 166 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd7 Shawn Murphy
Shawn Murphy at No. 198 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick216 Rnd7 Carson Hinzman
Carson Hinzman at No. 216 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
