Buffhem DRAFTING FOR THEGiants

Draft Grade — Giants

FutureA+
The Giants let Ponds fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. The rest of the league will want that one back. D'Angelo Ponds tumbling to the Giants in slot 128 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Adding Khalil Shakir by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In pick 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at the 34th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40
Rnd2
Isaiah World
Isaiah World in the 40th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 60 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102
Rnd4
Whit Weeks
A clean, defensible pick in No. 102 with a little surplus value in Whit Weeks. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
Steal is underselling it; D'Angelo Ponds at pick No. 128 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143
Rnd5
Demond Claiborne
Nice patience on Demond Claiborne, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147
Rnd5
Kage Casey
No edge and no loss on Kage Casey in Round 5, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at pick No. 180 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186
Rnd6
Rayshaun Benny
They paid sticker price for Rayshaun Benny in the 186th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
