Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Giants bet the future on Sanders. The board says B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Giants shredded theirs for Ethan Downs. He came off 63 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They have staked the next five years on Shedeur Sanders, which is the only story that really matters here. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick 5 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in No. 65. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than Round 3, Pick 6, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the 91st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 David Walker
The board had cheaper options than David Walker at slot 99, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to No. 105, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They barely believed it either: Cobee Bryant still on the board at pick 148. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They jumped the gun on Jake Briningstool, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
They let Donovan Edwards come to them and pounced at the 219th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ethan Downs. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in slot 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
