Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a B weekend for the Giants.

The search is over. The Giants handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rakestraw Jr..

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 6th pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 47th overall pick, where Ennis Rakestraw Jr. graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malachi Corley at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at slot 107 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Nothing to complain about; Beau Brade went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader is a better player than pick No. 183 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
