Draft Grade — Giants
Overall

FutureB
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a D weekend for the Giants. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Elijah Jones, the No. 193 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot.
Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The Guerendo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In No. 9 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick15
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a seam-stretching tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 16 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
They let Troy Franklin come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 7. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the 47th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70
Rnd3
J.J. McCarthy
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, J.J. McCarthy in No. 70, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Taking Edgerrin Cooper in the 71st pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 72. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73
Rnd3
Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
DJ James
The board had cheaper options than DJ James at slot 75, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Circle this one: Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 108 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 11, where Zak Zinter graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in slot 137 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140
Rnd5
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 150th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
A reach on Anthony Gould in No. 151; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
They robbed the room for Mohamed Kamara here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
They read the board right and Walter Rouse was the payoff at pick No. 185. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186
Rnd6
AJ Barner
They barely believed it either: AJ Barner still on the board at No. 186. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
They will replay Kamal Hadden at slot 187 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188
Rnd6
Mason McCormick
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 13 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jordan Travis
The board fumbled Jordan Travis all the way to pick 189, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Hall a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at the 222nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
A slide stopped in the 224th pick, with Josh Proctor worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at pick No. 239 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick240
Rnd7
Logan Lee
No edge and no loss on Logan Lee in pick 240; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Good price on Trey Knox in slot 241, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in pick No. 253 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254
Rnd7
Anim Dankwah
A real head-scratcher, Anim Dankwah in Round 7, Pick 34 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
