Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

When a board-topper like Kobe King slides to pick No. 218, you do not overthink it, and the Giants did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 4th pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at pick 66 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 102nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach Round 5, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kobe King
Kobe King in No. 218 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 245 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Deion Burks
A straight-up fair deal on Deion Burks at slot 256, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
