Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Ward in the fold, and a B- for the Giants.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Giants took Elijah Roberts a full 79 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Terence Steele deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick102 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at the 102nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaeden Roberts this early at No. 134. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Nicholas Singleton in Round 5, Pick 21, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Truss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
A tight end of that caliber at slot 245 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz in pick No. 256 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
