Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Dart is the Giants' new face under center. Grade: A-.

The Giants did not so much draft Elijhah Badger as overpay for him, 76 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Jaxson Dart gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart in slot 16 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 25th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in No. 34. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at the 58th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in pick 65, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They did well to land Darius Alexander in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 111 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 115th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They took Emery Jones Jr. at par in pick No. 117, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Ty Robinson at Round 5, Pick 16, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Caleb Ransaw
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caleb Ransaw this early at pick 163. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
A real head-scratcher, Elijhah Badger in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in slot 225 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Teddye Buchanan. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick246 Rnd7 Joshua Simon
Joshua Simon at slot 246 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
