Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

Start where it matters. The Giants took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The cost of the All reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Coleman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
They took Jayden Daniels at par in Round 1, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Value with a capital V on Keon Coleman in pick 47, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 70 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in slot 106 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kalen King
A straight-up fair deal on Kalen King at the 140th pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Erick All
They talked themselves into Erick All at No. 182, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
