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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Cam Ward is the Giants' quarterback, full stop. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Every board in the league had Croskey-Merritt lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Nolen. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 34th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Value said wait; Charles Grant in the 65th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick 99 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at No. 154 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
They reached into another round for Sam Brown Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
A wild overpay on Jacory Croskey-Merritt in pick No. 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
