Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Giants and Sanders: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Giants watched Raheim Sanders slide 96 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

Diggs has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end it comes back to Jalon Walker, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 31 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick 34 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
No drama and no debate, Azareye'h Thomas went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 58th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They took Deone Walker at par in No. 65, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A clean, defensible pick in the 79th overall pick with a little surplus value in Darien Porter. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Maxwell Hairston in slot 81. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A tidy little value on Jalen Milroe in pick No. 99, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at the 105th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
A big swing on Fadil Diggs at slot 151, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at pick 152 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach the 154th pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at Round 7, Pick 3 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Value with a capital V on Teddye Buchanan in No. 246, a genuine coup. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick251 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at pick No. 251 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
