Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The Giants answered their biggest question with Ward. Grade: B-.

Start where it matters. The Giants took Cam Ward to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Reaching for Slater left real value on the table behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McMillan. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 5 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in the 34th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A straight-up fair deal on Carson Schwesinger at No. 65, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick70 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in the 99th pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
The board had cheaper options than Anthony Belton at pick 105, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Slater well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They went early on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 154, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in slot 194 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in pick No. 219 says they were not listening. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at No. 246 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
