Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Giants put a flag in the ground for Jay Higgins, 49 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Allen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 3 they get an island corner. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in slot 34: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quinshon Judkins. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in Round 4, Pick 3 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jay Higgins in the 134th overall pick, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick155 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen slid further than he should have, and the 155th pick is lovely value for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
