Draft Grade — Giants

FutureB
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a C+ weekend for the Giants. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 16.
The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The Oladejo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
If Shedeur Sanders and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In the 14th pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
This one needs a full-page explanation: Josaiah Stewart in the Round 2 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They took Aireontae Ersery at par in pick No. 45, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
Trey Amos
A tidy bit of business in pick 65, where Trey Amos graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Good price on Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oluwafemi Oladejo. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the 154th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick219
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaac TeSlaa a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach slot 232 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246
Rnd7
CJ Dippre
Fair-plus on CJ Dippre, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
