Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a B weekend for the Giants.

When a board-topper like Ryan Fitzgerald slides to pick 246, you do not overthink it, and the Giants did not.

So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Every board in the league had Taylor lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 34th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Grey Zabel
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Grey Zabel worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
A tidy little value on Azareye'h Thomas in Round 4, Pick 2, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at slot 104 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander slipping to pick No. 134 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 153 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick219 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
They talked themselves into Roc Taylor at the 219th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in No. 246 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
