Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Giants watched Nicholas Singleton slide 114 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mykel Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mykel Williams this early at the 66th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jayden Higgins well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 134 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tosh Baker
They reached a country mile for Tosh Baker at pick 155, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They did well to land Luke Lachey in Round 7, Pick 31, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
