Draft Grade — Giants
Overall

ValueB

FutureB-
The Giants finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Giants reached some 138 spots for Austin Reed, and value like that does not grow back. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.
The Smith pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In No. 7 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick16
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 16th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu slipping to pick No. 21 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick28
Rnd1
JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick54
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They talked themselves into Malachi Corley at pick 54, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
They liked Braden Fiske enough to skip the value, taking him in the 70th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They took Cade Stover at par in pick No. 93, which is nothing to complain about. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at Round 4, Pick 8 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140
Rnd5
Renardo Green
They went early on Renardo Green in No. 140, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157
Rnd5
Javon Baker
Javon Baker in the 157th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
Fair-plus on Theo Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159
Rnd5
Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 160 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the 161st pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162
Rnd5
Austin Booker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Austin Booker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ainias Smith in No. 170, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178
Rnd6
Nehemiah Pritchett
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 3 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185
Rnd6
Roger Rosengarten
They did well to land Roger Rosengarten in the 185th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Circle this one: Jaylin Simpson at slot 188 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wiley well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Steele Chambers. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick206
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at the 206th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Christian Jones
Christian Jones slid further than he should have, and No. 222 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Gabe Hall
A reasonable price with a little left over, Gabe Hall in slot 224. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
Good price on Jawhar Jordan in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in pick 241 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256
Rnd7
Austin Reed
Austin Reed at the 256th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
