Draft Grade — Giants
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesC-
FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Sanders in the fold, and a B- for the Giants. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Giants started one anyway for Que Robinson, 93 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
Shedeur Sanders gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. However the rest shakes out, Lachey at that price is a win they earned.
On the needs board they went 9 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In the 12th pick they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In pick No. 23 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 37 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick56
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the 70th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at pick No. 92 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108
Rnd4
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick 108 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
They jumped the gun on Jackson Slater, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158
Rnd5
Que Robinson
Que Robinson at slot 158 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 179 with a little surplus value in Dont'e Thornton Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach the 221st pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223
Rnd7
Cobee Bryant
Taking Cobee Bryant in Round 7, Pick 5 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick No. 237 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Luke Lachey in Round 7, Pick 30, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
