Draft Grade — Giants

ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a D weekend for the Giants.

The rest of the league will want that one back. TreVeyon Henderson tumbling to the Giants in pick 219 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at pick No. 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick34 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. slipping to slot 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
You do not let a wide receiver like Luther Burden III reach pick 55 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton slid further than he should have, and the 65th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to Round 4, Pick 3, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 157th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at slot 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 246 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 256 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
