Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kurtis Rourke got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at No. 219. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They are betting Amos proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In slot 3 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They paid a round early for Trey Amos in Round 2, Pick 2, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Bech at the 65th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in Round 3, Pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They did well to land Cam Skattebo in pick 105, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
A tidy little value on Luke Kandra in slot 154, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in the 219th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bilhal Kone at No. 246 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
