Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Daniels is the plan now, and the Giants grade out a B+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Giants' quarterback, full stop.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rosengarten.

The cost of the Eichenberg reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 8th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in No. 70; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at slot 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They paid sticker price for Audric Estime in pick No. 107, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 121st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 27 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King in pick 141 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Value with a capital V on Roger Rosengarten in slot 147, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at No. 183 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
