FutureB-
The Giants bet the future on Sanders. The board says B. The Emery Jones Jr. selection is the head-turner. The Giants reached 130 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
On value alone, Starks makes the weekend a net positive. Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
They paid a round early for Jonah Savaiinaea in the 39th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 67 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
The board fumbled Tyler Booker all the way to the 83rd pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Evan Stewart
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Evan Stewart. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at pick 104 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108
Rnd4
Howard Cross III
By-the-book stuff, Howard Cross III at Round 4, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120
Rnd4
Miller Moss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Miller Moss in the 120th pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129
Rnd4
Kalel Mullings
Taking Kalel Mullings in pick No. 129 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jonah Monheim
They paid sticker price for Jonah Monheim in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204
Rnd6
Harold Perkins Jr.
Somehow Harold Perkins Jr. was still sitting there in No. 204, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213
Rnd6
Lathan Ransom
A safety of that caliber at the 213th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in pick 218 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick246
Rnd7
Tim Smith
Tim Smith at slot 246 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
