Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Giants found their guy under center in Ward: C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: David Walker in Round 3, Pick 1, a good 95 spots before the room expected him. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Getting Gordon II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
No edge and no loss on Cam Ward in No. 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34 Rnd2 Mason Graham
They robbed the room for Mason Graham here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker in Round 3, Pick 1 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at slot 68 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They paid sticker price for Luke Kandra in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Somehow Malachi Moore was still sitting there in pick No. 106, and they pounced on premier safety value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cobee Bryant. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 153 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at pick No. 219. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 246th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
