The board owed the Giants one, and it paid up: Deontae Lawson, the No. 88 name on the board, sitting there at the 157th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Carson Beck gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The Beck reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Carter pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots.

Bottom line, with Carson Beck leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
