Draft Grade — Giants
Overall

FutureA+
The Giants lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Giants spent pick No. 225 on Elijhah Badger, a name the board had a full 70 spots lower. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mafah.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In the 16th pick they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
No edge and no loss on Jalon Walker in the 25th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
They paid sticker price for Jaxson Dart in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick35
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than pick 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at No. 65 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick No. 80 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A reach for Charles Grant in the 81st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached a country mile for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at No. 99, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
David Walker
No drama and no debate, David Walker went about where he belonged in the 103rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
They paid a round early for Jamaree Caldwell in slot 119, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bhayshul Tuten. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193
Rnd6
Fadil Diggs
They reached into another round for Fadil Diggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219
Rnd7
Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at pick No. 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger in pick 225 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 232nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick246
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
They barely believed it either: Phil Mafah still on the board at the 246th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
