Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Giants for Branch: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Zachariah Branch slide, and the Giants were the ones holding the card at slot 145. Highway robbery. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Biles has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Adding Jaylon Jones by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick No. 32 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Connor Lew
They paid a round early for Connor Lew in Round 2, Pick 5, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A tidy little value on Dillon Thieneman in No. 64, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They paid sticker price for D'Angelo Ponds in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Zachariah Branch
They will replay Zachariah Branch at the 145th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at slot 185 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles in pick 187 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick196 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
They paid up for Makhi Hughes at the 196th pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
