Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a B- weekend for the Giants.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Giants committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. However the rest shakes out, Clark at that price is a win they earned. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
No edge and no loss on Chris Brazzell II in No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Joe Royer at the 105th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey in pick No. 144 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Good price on Rayshaun Benny in slot 185, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A tidy bit of business in the 191st pick, where Bud Clark graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick197 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
Fair-plus on DJ Harvey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
