Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants bet the future on Ward. The board says C+.

The Akheem Mesidor pick is the one that will follow the Giants into the fall. They took him 88 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 3rd overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darien Porter well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Alfred Collins in slot 65. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in Round 4, Pick 3 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
They reached a country mile for Elijah Arroyo at No. 134, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at pick No. 153 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, KJ Jefferson in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at slot 245 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa in pick 256 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
