Sanders is the Giants' new face under center. Grade: B+. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Phillip Webb at pick No. 163, a reach of 139 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
However the rest shakes out, Fitzgerald at that price is a win they earned. Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Giants paired the rookies with proven help, DJ Moore leading the way.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In No. 17 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In pick No. 32 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach the 40th overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 41st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They read the board right and Tyler Booker was the payoff at slot 49. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
The board had Alfred Collins higher than the Round 2 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 65th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in pick 81, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in No. 103 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jake Majors
No edge and no loss on Jake Majors in the 109th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139
Rnd5
Chris Paul Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Chris Paul Jr. at Round 5, Pick 2 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick152
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nazir Stackhouse this early at slot 152. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163
Rnd5
Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at pick No. 163 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 185 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in No. 191 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in pick No. 230 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick246
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
Value said wait; KJ Jefferson in pick 246 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
They liked Shilo Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in the 249th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
