Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA
The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Giants spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 6 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
They paid sticker price for Jonah Elliss in pick No. 47, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They did well to land Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 70, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick107 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at Round 4, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 James Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, James Williams at No. 143. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A quiet steal in the 185th overall pick: Julian Pearl for less than the market said. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
