Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Dart is the Giants' new face under center. Grade: B+.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Giants committed. Jaxson Dart is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. TeSlaa at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In No. 25 they get a franchise quarterback, even if it was a touch early.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They let Walter Nolen come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Zy Alexander at Round 3, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
A premium they did not need to pay, Hollin Pierce a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at the 105th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
A tidy bit of business in slot 154, where Jackson Slater graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They paid up for Jack Kiser at the 166th pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Steal is underselling it; Kyle Monangai at pick No. 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They robbed the room for Isaac TeSlaa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
