Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Ward in the fold, and a C+ for the Giants.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Giants committed. Cam Ward is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gadsden II. The Lacy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Hit on Cam Ward and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 3rd pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
They paid a round early for Benjamin Morrison in slot 34, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
They let Xavier Restrepo come to them and pounced at No. 74. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 104th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick110 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They paid up for Emery Jones Jr. at Round 4, Pick 9 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
The board fumbled Oronde Gadsden II all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232 Rnd7 CJ West
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, CJ West in pick No. 232, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Good price on Clay Webb in pick 248, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyren Lacy this early at Round 7, Pick 37. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
