Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Giants won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Fadil Diggs, 98 picks early at the Round 4 slot.

The Sanders steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

The Eric Stokes deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Shemar Stewart in pick No. 24. It fills a real need, too.
Pick34 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Cameron Williams at pick 34, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Nothing to complain about; Jihaad Campbell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They went early on Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts is a better player than the 57th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
The board had Aireontae Ersery higher than Round 3, Pick 1, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 80th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Fannin Jr. all the way to No. 85, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in pick 91 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach slot 97 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at Round 4, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in pick No. 110 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Moore at the 116th pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in pick No. 134 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They will replay Luke Kandra at the 140th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Circle this one: Hollin Pierce at slot 155 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 164th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at No. 171 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 CJ West
They reached a country mile for CJ West at Round 6, Pick 12, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at pick 199 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They barely believed it either: Chimere Dike still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in the 248th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
