Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Giants a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Xavier Truss at No. 246, a reach of 45 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They banked enough surplus on Bond to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 3 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board had Walter Nolen higher than pick 34, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jaxson Dart in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They read the board right and Ozzy Trapilo was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 35. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Isaiah Bond
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Bond at the 105th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They took Damien Martinez at par in No. 154, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at the 219th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick246 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at the 246th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
