FutureC+
The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: C. Nobody else had Sean Martin anywhere near the 248th pick. The Giants did, by 135 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A mixed bag that lands at C.
They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. On value alone, Trapilo makes the weekend a net positive. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Cam Ward
They took Cam Ward at par in the 5th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 34 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in Round 3, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100
Rnd3
Devin Neal
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Devin Neal in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 104 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in the 125th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
The board fumbled Ozzy Trapilo all the way to Round 4, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134
Rnd4
Fadil Diggs
They reached into another round for Fadil Diggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Luke Lachey
Value said wait; Luke Lachey in slot 170 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172
Rnd5
CJ West
They reached a country mile for CJ West at pick 172, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
No edge and no loss on Cobee Bryant in pick No. 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick184
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A slide stopped in the 184th overall pick, with Dont'e Thornton Jr. worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Jackson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
They will replay Donovan Edwards at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
A premium they did not need to pay, Teddye Buchanan a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick227
Rnd7
Alijah Huzzie
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 227 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
A wild overpay on Barryn Sorrell in pick No. 230, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Steven Parker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Steven Parker in No. 246, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248
Rnd7
Sean Martin
A big swing on Sean Martin at the 248th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257
Rnd7
Julian Fleming
They talked themselves into Julian Fleming at Round 7, Pick 39, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
