Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Ward, and a B-, for the Giants.

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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If Mondon Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Nolen.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They read the board right and Walter Nolen was the payoff at slot 34. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 65 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant is a better player than pick No. 99 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tez Johnson in No. 114. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They left a pile of value on the table to take Chase Lundt this early at the 146th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They talked themselves into Jonah Monheim at the 154th overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid up for Cam Jackson at Round 7, Pick 3 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
They reached into another round for Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
