Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants found their guy under center in Ward: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the Giants in slot 218 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Reaching for Morris left real value on the table behind him. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Cam Ward
They paid sticker price for Cam Ward in slot 4, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in No. 35. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
The board had cheaper options than Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 66, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at pick No. 102 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 134 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Steal is underselling it; Mason Taylor at the 153rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at Round 7, Pick 29 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Somehow Karene Reid was still sitting there in the 256th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
