FutureB-
Sanders is the Giants' new face under center. Grade: C. You build a draft on nights like this. Cody Simon had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 2, and the Giants did the only sane thing and turned in the card. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
Simpkins III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In the 12th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In pick 25 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 34 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Value with a capital V on Aireontae Ersery in pick 57, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to the 58th pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
They let Zy Alexander come to them and pounced at pick No. 89. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
A big swing on Darius Alexander at the 105th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140
Rnd5
David Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for David Walker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in No. 154 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166
Rnd5
LeQuint Allen
Circle this one: LeQuint Allen at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218
Rnd7
Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at Round 7, Pick 2 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219
Rnd7
Torricelli Simpkins III
They talked themselves into Torricelli Simpkins III at slot 219, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in pick 242 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jaylin Lane
A wild overpay on Jaylin Lane in pick No. 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
