Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants bet the future on Sanders. The board says B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Giants did exactly that with Emery Jones Jr. in pick 65.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. The Lindenberg pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
They talked themselves into Emery Jones Jr. at slot 65, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 103 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Jaeden Roberts in pick No. 134 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at pick 153 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
They read the board right and Jonah Monheim was the payoff at the 219th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in slot 246 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
