Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brashard Smith, No. 248, roughly 137 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Webb reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 3rd overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in the 34th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Nice patience on Alfred Collins, who had no business lasting to pick 65. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A premium they did not need to pay, Hollin Pierce a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Logan Brown
The board had cheaper options than Logan Brown at Round 4, Pick 33, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at pick No. 155 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Phillip Webb this early at slot 221. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in the 248th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
