Draft Grade — Giants
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The phones sank the Giants this weekend: D-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Giants spent slot 70 on Jaxson Dart, a name most had 34 spots down the list.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Watts steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 8 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in slot 33, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the 38th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at No. 39 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 8 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A quiet steal in the 61st pick: Xavier Watts for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
They reached a country mile for Jaxson Dart at slot 70, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
No edge and no loss on Luke Kandra in Round 4, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd5 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at pick No. 134 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Aubrey Burks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Aubrey Burks in pick 139. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
By-the-book stuff, Phil Mafah at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd7 CJ Daniels
Nice patience on CJ Daniels, who had no business lasting to the 198th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
They did well to land CJ Dippre in No. 219, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
