Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Giants reached some 76 spots for Collin Oliver, and value like that does not grow back. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it. Nolen falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
They took Cam Ward at par in the Round 1 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at Round 2, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at the 65th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slipping to pick 99 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick No. 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 154 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They talked themselves into Collin Oliver at the 219th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Shemar James
Good price on Shemar James in pick No. 246, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
