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.
