Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Giants for Fitzgerald: A.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Giants were there to profit. Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 117 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 248.

Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick 30 they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 13 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick51 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
You do not let a wide receiver like Emeka Egbuka reach the 51st pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 65th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen Milroe in slot 104. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 121 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.
Pick122 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
They robbed the room for Omarr Norman-Lott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
A tight end of that caliber at the 134th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 155, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A big swing on Quincy Riley at the 163rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 3, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
Steal is underselling it; RJ Harvey at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
The board fumbled Ryan Fitzgerald all the way to slot 248, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
