Overall B-

A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B- weekend for the Giants.

The board owed the Giants one, and it paid up: Deontae Lawson, the No. 82 name on the board, sitting there at the 245th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 4 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at Round 2, Pick 2 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Emeka Egbuka
They robbed the room for Emeka Egbuka here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They barely believed it either: Malachi Moore still on the board at slot 103. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in pick No. 104 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 16 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 219th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in No. 245, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
