The Giants finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The board owed the Giants one, and it paid up: Cody Simon, the No. 135 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 248 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. If Campbell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A reach for Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 2; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
They will replay Tyler Booker at Round 3, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick No. 104 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
They robbed the room for Dylan Sampson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach slot 155 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
A real head-scratcher, DJ Campbell in No. 221 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Circle this one: Cody Simon at the 248th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
