Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureA
Dart is the plan now, and the Giants grade out a B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jaxson Dart is the Giants' quarterback, full stop.

The Phillips pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Reaching for Dart left real value on the table behind him.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Mondon Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 20th pick they get a passer to set the clock by, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 27 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Nothing to complain about; Azareye'h Thomas went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. slipping to pick 68 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 92 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
You do not let a quarterback like Quinn Ewers reach the 121st overall pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
Circle this one: Jermari Harris at slot 134 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A curious use of the 136th pick. Wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Smael Mondon Jr. did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
They will replay Jordan Phillips at Round 5, Pick 16 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kobe King
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 157 is the definition of value, full stop. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick176 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
They took Joshua Gray at par in the 176th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Somehow Phil Mafah was still sitting there in pick No. 213, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221 Rnd7 CJ West
CJ West at No. 221 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams in slot 248 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
