JakeG514 DRAFTING FOR THEGiants
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Giants
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Giants bet the future on Daniels. The board says B-. The Giants spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
The Smith-Wade reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick 5 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Coleman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick54
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in No. 54. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Quinyon Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Quinyon Mitchell went about where he belonged in pick No. 69. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Javion Cohen
A reach on Javion Cohen in the 105th pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 142nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
They reached into another round for Chau Smith-Wade, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
