Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Daniels is the Giants' new face under center. Grade: B-.

The search is over. The Giants handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Reaching for Murphy II left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 6 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick47 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
They reached into another round for Byron Murphy II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zak Zinter. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107 Rnd4 Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. The roster fit checks out.
