Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Sanders is the Giants' new face under center. Grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brashard Smith, the Round 7 slot, roughly 110 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Shedeur Sanders gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with safety the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 2nd pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cameron Williams. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick102 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at Round 4, Pick 1. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kyren Lacy in pick 134. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at slot 159 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick218 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
They robbed the room for Brashard Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the 245th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
The board had Shilo Sanders higher than the 256th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
