Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B- weekend for the Giants.

Start where it matters. The Giants took Cam Ward to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

However the rest shakes out, Woodson at that price is a win they earned. They will need Hairston to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 34 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel is a better player than pick No. 104 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jah Joyner
A big swing on Jah Joyner at the 134th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A swing that ignored the value entirely, JJ Pegues well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in No. 221 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick248 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at slot 248 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
