Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: B-.

The war room fell hard for Xavier Truss, and it showed at pick 218: 68 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The whole projection now runs through Cam Ward; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Getting Smith where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 2nd overall pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
By-the-book stuff, Mykel Williams at Round 2, Pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick No. 66 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Danny Stutsman for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in slot 134 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in pick 159, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at pick 218 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Oscar Delp
Value said wait; Oscar Delp in No. 245 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gentry Williams. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
