Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants answered their biggest question with Sanders. Grade: B-.

The Giants did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Smael Mondon Jr. fell into No. 217.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. The Brown reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 1st overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A real head-scratcher, Grey Zabel in pick No. 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in Round 3, Pick 1 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick 102 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 134 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
Circle this one: Evan Stewart at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 217th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
A safety of that caliber at No. 245 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in the 256th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
