Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants let Sanders fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Giants did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and T.J. Sanders fell into pick No. 249.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 3rd pick they get an island corner. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at slot 34 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at pick No. 134 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jahdae Barron in pick 153, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the 249th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in No. 251, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in No. 254 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in Round 7, Pick 39 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
