Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants answered their biggest question with Ward. Grade: B-.

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.

The Lawson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They are betting Echols proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malaki Starks at pick 34. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 65th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
A running back of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
The board fumbled Deontae Lawson all the way to pick No. 134, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick153 Rnd5 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in No. 153 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in the 219th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
You do not let a tight end like Terrance Ferguson reach slot 245 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Power Echols
Power Echols at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
