Draft Grade — Giants
Overall

FutureA+
Ward is the Giants' new face under center. Grade: A-. 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 Collin Schlee in slot 221. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
However the rest shakes out, Noel at that price is a win they earned. Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The veteran additions, Tyler Guyton chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Cam Ward
They did well to land Cam Ward in Round 1, Pick 12, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick15
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 15 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to pick No. 34, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick45
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. at the 45th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A quiet steal in slot 53: Jihaad Campbell for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Good price on Alfred Collins in the 59th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
David Walker
They reached into another round for David Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Taking Kaleb Johnson in the 74th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They reached a country mile for Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
They jumped the gun on Dylan Fairchild, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 104 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
They robbed the room for Xavier Restrepo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110
Rnd4
Joshua Simon
A wild overpay on Joshua Simon in slot 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 117 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at the 120th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 128th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at slot 134 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick 155 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 171 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jaylin Noel
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Noel still on the board at Round 6, Pick 15. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199
Rnd6
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in slot 199 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206
Rnd6
Donovan Edwards
You do not let a running back like Donovan Edwards reach pick 206 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser is a better player than the 213th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Collin Schlee
A real head-scratcher, Collin Schlee in No. 221 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at the 248th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
