Giants’ Day 2: Hood and Fields draw mixed grades, fans optimistic

New York Giants fans gave strong marks to Day 2 picks Colton Hood (CB, No. 37) and Malachi Fields (WR, No. 74) after the team moved up to select Fields. Analysts praised Hood as a value at corner with starter potential, while Fields was noted for his size, contested-catch ability, and upside alongside Malik Nabers but with questions about separation. The Giants traded multiple picks to climb into Round 3, and national opinions from NFL Media, The Athletic, Yahoo!, USA Today and SI ranged from A to C+, signaling cautious optimism about Hood’s fit opposite Deonte Banks and Fields’ long-term upside.
