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

There is reaching, and then there is Tyler Loop at Round 7, Pick 3. The Giants jumped the board by 106 and dared it to prove them wrong. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harmon. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 3 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick 51 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson is a better player than pick No. 75 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chase Lundt. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
Good price on Thomas Fidone II in the 208th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop at slot 219 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick229 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Value with a capital V on Craig Woodson in the 229th pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They read the board right and Isaac TeSlaa was the payoff at pick No. 246. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
