Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The Giants torched the value chart for Savion Williams, taking him 97 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Perkins Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They have staked the next five years on Shedeur Sanders, which is the only story that really matters here. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori slipping to the 33rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in the 66th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy little value on Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 102, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A big swing on Savion Williams at slot 134, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick 159 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Perkins Jr. all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 245th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A wild overpay on Micah Morris in pick No. 256, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
