Draft Grade — Giants
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Giants cashed the board's mistake on Mullings: D+.

The Giants torched the value chart for Gabe Jacas, taking him 38 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Fair-plus on Will Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Somehow Jaxson Dart was still sitting there in slot 38, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 70 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 71st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Devin Neal
They barely believed it either: Devin Neal still on the board at Round 3, Pick 22. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Barion Brown
A reach for Barion Brown in No. 87; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to pick No. 88, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at the 89th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
Taking Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 102 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They read the board right and Danny Stutsman was the payoff at slot 103. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd5 Connor Colby
No drama and no debate, Connor Colby went about where he belonged in the 134th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd5 Elic Ayomanor
They did well to land Elic Ayomanor in No. 135, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They paid sticker price for Cobee Bryant in the 136th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd6 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in pick No. 166 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd6 Gabe Jacas
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Jacas in Round 6, Pick 7, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd6 Brant Kuithe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brant Kuithe this early at the 168th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
They will replay Kalel Mullings at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
You do not let a cornerback like Quincy Riley reach pick 200 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
A reasonable price with a little left over, T.J. Sanders in slot 219. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
