Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Giants finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The Giants spent the pick that matters most on Cam Ward, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

On value alone, Mondon Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Jackson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 4th overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at slot 34. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A slide stopped in pick 38, with Malaki Starks worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 65 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Jackson a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A conviction pick on Anthony Belton at Round 4, Pick 3 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in No. 134, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Raheim Sanders in the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
