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

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

The Zvada pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 4 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 34th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 38, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They paid a round early for Jayden Higgins in the 65th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in Round 4, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Nothing to complain about; Oronde Gadsden II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dominic Zvada
They barely believed it either: Dominic Zvada still on the board at pick 153. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
