Draftmel DRAFTING FOR THEGiants
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Giants
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Giants. The Giants looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Oronde Gadsden II at slot 154 regardless, 40 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Landing Dart that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
The back end got a real overhaul.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 3rd overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart at Round 2, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant is a better player than pick 99 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105
Rnd4
David Walker
No edge and no loss on David Walker in the 105th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
They reached a country mile for Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 154, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the 219th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
They took Teddye Buchanan at par in No. 246, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
