Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B- weekend for the Giants.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jay Higgins, the No. 123 name on the board, stolen at the 217th overall pick.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. If Colby pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Nothing to complain about; Emeka Egbuka went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to No. 65, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
They liked Chris Paul Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 102nd overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick134 Rnd4 Connor Colby
They talked themselves into Connor Colby at slot 134, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at pick 154 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach pick No. 217 and blink. They did not. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in Round 7, Pick 31 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
