Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Giants let Ewers fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

Thirty-one other rooms let Quinn Ewers slide, and the Giants were the ones holding the card at the 134th pick. Highway robbery. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If Alexander pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In the end it comes back to Kenneth Grant, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 17 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jack Bech
By-the-book stuff, Jack Bech at the 65th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slipping to Round 3, Pick 16 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at pick 104, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in pick No. 134 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 155th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonas Sanker at slot 221. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
They barely believed it either: Trevor Etienne still on the board at the 248th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
