Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Sanders is the Giants' new face under center. Grade: B.

The Giants did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kalel Mullings fell into No. 219. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Dumervil reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 3rd overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malaki Starks at slot 34 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Grey Zabel
Fair-plus on Grey Zabel, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Steal is underselling it; Elic Ayomanor at Round 4, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in pick No. 153 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
They robbed the room for Kalel Mullings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Marcus Dumervil
They talked themselves into Marcus Dumervil at pick 246, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
