Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureD
The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: C.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bhayshul Tuten got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at the 248th overall pick. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need McWilliams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

If Cam Ward and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
By-the-book stuff, Cam Ward at pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In slot 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They paid a round early for Aireontae Ersery in No. 34, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They paid sticker price for Jalen Royals in Round 3, Pick 1, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at slot 104 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 134th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
They let Rylie Mills come to them and pounced at pick No. 155. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at the 206th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick 208 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick221 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Somehow Bhayshul Tuten was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
