Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Giants won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Rylie Mills pick is the one that will follow the Giants into the fall. They took him 69 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Getting Carter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 16th overall pick they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A conviction pick on Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 34 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They reached a country mile for Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 15, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 78th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quinn Ewers in slot 99. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in the 105th overall pick, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick154 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 154 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at No. 219 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Value said wait; Logan Parr in the 246th pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
