Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureA
A passer of the future in Ward, and a B, for the Giants.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Giants did exactly that with Shemar Turner in slot 103.

They banked enough surplus on Roberts to cover a lot of smaller sins. They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Cam Ward
By-the-book stuff, Cam Ward at No. 4 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick33 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luther Burden III. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malaki Starks at slot 36. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
A real head-scratcher, Ajani Cornelius in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 83rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Value said wait; Shemar Turner in pick No. 103 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Circle this one: Nicholas Singleton at the 134th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Harold Perkins Jr. at No. 156 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick218 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick 218 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jaeden Roberts
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 224th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at slot 246 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
