Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The Giants spent the pick that matters most on Cam Ward, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Felton. If Burch pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 3 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at slot 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Value said wait; Jordan Burch in pick 65 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 99th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
The board had Barrett Carter higher than Round 4, Pick 3, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tai Felton
They robbed the room for Tai Felton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick No. 219. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Jackson at the Round 7 slot is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
