Draft Grade — Giants
Overall D
ValueF NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Giants left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Giants took Payton Thorne a full 310 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

Getting Perkins Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Whatever Jalen Milroe becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In No. 2 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection.
Pick33 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
They reached a country mile for Ajani Cornelius at the 66th pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
Value said wait; Kyren Lacy in Round 4, Pick 1 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at pick No. 134 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dayon Hayes
A wild overpay on Dayon Hayes in slot 153, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Hawes in No. 202, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Payton Thorne
A big swing on Payton Thorne at the 218th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Perkins Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kamren Fabiculanan
They liked Kamren Fabiculanan enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 244. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fentrell Cypress II well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Gabriel Rubio
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabriel Rubio this early at pick No. 256. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
