Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureD
The Giants won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-.

The Giants torched the value chart for Evan Stewart, taking him 167 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. That Branch pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in pick No. 35 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Joe Royer
Joe Royer in the 73rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers at pick 110 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zachariah Branch at Round 4, Pick 34 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Logan Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Logan Jones at No. 139, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd4 Sammy Omosigho
They liked Sammy Omosigho enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 40. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick193 Rnd6 Quintrevion Wisner
A wild overpay on Quintrevion Wisner in pick No. 193, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Gracen Halton
No drama and no debate, Gracen Halton went about where he belonged in slot 195. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
