Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Giants grade out a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Kyren Lacy in the 219th pick, a good 69 spots before the room expected him. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick65 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at the 65th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 99th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Zy Alexander graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown slipping to Round 5, Pick 16 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyren Lacy well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
They paid sticker price for Kitan Crawford in slot 246, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
