Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Giants fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Nobody else had Joshua Simon anywhere near the 248th pick. The Giants did, by 56 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Paul Jr.. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end it comes back to Jack Sawyer, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board had Nick Emmanwori higher than slot 34, and the safety fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaxson Dart. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hollin Pierce this early at the 89th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 3, with Tez Johnson worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Chris Paul Jr. at pick 134 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 155th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick221 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Value said wait; Miles Frazier in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Joshua Simon
Joshua Simon in Round 7, Pick 30 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
