Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureC
Sanders is the Giants' new face under center. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Devin Neal got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at No. 188.

Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick 24 they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick100 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 4, Pick 27 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
They barely believed it either: Aeneas Peebles still on the board at slot 134. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in pick 138 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tory Horton
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 153 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 160 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick188 Rnd6 Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at the 188th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
No drama and no debate, Brant Kuithe went about where he belonged in the 219th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
