FutureD
The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: B-. 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.
They will need Armstrong to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In No. 3 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A real head-scratcher, Darius Alexander in the 68th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Devin Neal
A reach on Devin Neal in pick No. 73; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at slot 104 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 121st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Luke Lachey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Lachey in Round 5, Pick 16, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216
Rnd6
Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong at pick 216 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 217 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jason Marshall Jr.
Circle this one: Jason Marshall Jr. at Round 7, Pick 3 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jonas Sanker
Steal is underselling it; Jonas Sanker at the 248th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
