Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureD
Ward is the plan now, and the Giants grade out a C.

Some picks age like wine; Barryn Sorrell at the 196th overall pick will need to, sitting 119 spots clear of his grade. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Winston Jr..

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Cam Ward
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Ward at pick No. 5, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A quiet steal in slot 39: Derrick Harmon for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 41st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
They took Xavier Restrepo at par in No. 65, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Taking Devin Neal in the 104th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at the 134th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Value said wait; Cobee Bryant in Round 5, Pick 16 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Connor Colby
They let Connor Colby come to them and pounced at No. 184. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 196, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They paid up for Teddye Buchanan at pick 221 when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tonka Hemingway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
