They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Giants' quarterback, full stop. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The King pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Trotter Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
Jayden Daniels in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Value said wait; Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 2, Pick 15 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
They paid sticker price for Max Melton in pick No. 77, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Will Shipley in slot 107 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 141; it is a wash and a sensible one. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Kalen King at No. 183 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
