Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Giants fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Jackson Slater pick is the one that will follow the Giants into the fall. They took him 43 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot.
Pick34 Rnd2 Armand Membou
You do not let an offensive lineman like Armand Membou reach No. 34 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They robbed the room for Emeka Egbuka here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 65th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
No edge and no loss on Shemar Turner in pick 81; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jeffrey Bassa
A wild overpay on Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 99, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick 105 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 3 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A premium they did not need to pay, Marcus Yarns a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
