Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Giants a B+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jah Joyner at slot 99 is 53 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Bassa steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The J.J. McCarthy deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
A reach on Grey Zabel in the 24th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in the 65th pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jah Joyner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jah Joyner this early at pick 99. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at Round 4, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick219 Rnd7 Logan Parr
A wild overpay on Logan Parr in pick No. 219, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
