Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Giants found their guy under center in Dart: C+.

The search is over. The Giants handed the keys to Jaxson Dart, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Getting Bowman Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Reaching for Dart left real value on the table behind him. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In pick 11 they get their guy under center for the next decade, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 2, with Walter Nolen worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They jumped the gun on Bradyn Swinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 65th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant slipping to the 99th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Danny Stutsman at No. 100 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at slot 105 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at pick No. 147. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at Round 5, Pick 16 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Value with a capital V on Kyle Monangai in the 219th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sam Brown Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
