Draft Grade — Giants
Overall
C
ValueB-
NeedB

FutureB
The Giants left with their quarterback, and a C to match. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Giants committed. Cam Ward is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.
The cost of the Slater reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Walker.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Jalon Walker graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 65th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 99 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101
Rnd3
Terrance Ferguson
They liked Terrance Ferguson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 101st overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Emery Jones Jr. at slot 105, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
A wild overpay on Jackson Slater in No. 107, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at pick 127 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty Robinson a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jalen McLeod
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen McLeod this early at the 190th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
Value said wait; Isaac TeSlaa in pick No. 194 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
They paid up for Desmond Watson at Round 7, Pick 3 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford in the 246th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
