Draft Grade — Giants
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a D- weekend for the Giants.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dont'e Thornton Jr. slide, and the Giants were the ones holding the card at pick No. 248. Highway robbery.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The Stewart pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in the 36th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins is a better player than the 65th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Denzel Burke at pick No. 104 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at No. 125. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 134th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Circle this one: Brashard Smith at slot 155 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carson Vinson in pick 221. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 7, Pick 30 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
