Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Giants: B.

Nobody had Barryn Sorrell this high, and it is not close. The Giants reached 66 spots to get him at Round 7, Pick 30.

Ransom falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 3rd overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Skattebo. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Will Howard
No drama and no debate, Will Howard went about where he belonged in the 104th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They jumped the gun on Antwaun Powell-Ryland, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Somehow Lathan Ransom was still sitting there in slot 155, and they pounced on premier safety value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A tidy little value on Carson Vinson in pick 221, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
