The trade table was where it all came apart. The Giants shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

They have staked the next five years on Jaxson Dart, which is the only story that really matters here. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Jones Jr. left real value on the table behind him.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
