Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureD
Quarterback settled, Dart in the fold, and a B- for the Giants.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tyler Shough at slot 221 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They have staked the next five years on Jaxson Dart, which is the only story that really matters here. They are betting Alexander proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 3rd pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get the arm they will build around, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick65 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 1, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They reached into another round for Darius Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 104th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 134th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 155 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
A quarterback of that caliber at slot 221 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They will replay Chimere Dike at pick No. 248 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
