Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Giants to a B.

The phones were a trap the Giants kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

The cost of the Wester reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Grant at that price is a win they earned.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the 14th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in Round 2, Pick 2 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 45th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick No. 80 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Good price on Quinn Ewers in No. 99, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander is a better player than pick 105 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in slot 154 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at Round 7, Pick 3 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
No edge and no loss on Teddye Buchanan in slot 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
