Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Giants did not so much draft Jaxson Dart as overpay for him, 35 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kelvin Banks Jr. at Round 1, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
A reach for Josh Conerly Jr. in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in slot 65, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at pick 103 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
No edge and no loss on Pat Bryant in No. 134; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the 153rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They paid up for Garrett Dellinger at the 246th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
