Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Frank Gore Jr. in the 188th pick, a good 66 spots before the room expected him. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. On value alone, Odunze makes the weekend a net positive.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 10 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner slid further than he should have, and pick 39 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick47 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nothing to complain about; Troy Fautanu went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke is a better player than the 69th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at Round 3, Pick 10 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Rod Moore
A safety of that caliber at No. 105 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They paid a round early for Javion Cohen in pick 142, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
They will replay Ainias Smith at pick No. 183 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached into another round for Frank Gore Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
