Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Giants found their guy under center in Ward: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: RJ Harvey, Round 7, Pick 21, roughly 80 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will need Garcia to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 5th pick they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in the 34th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tre Harris at pick 65. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A straight-up fair deal on Maxwell Hairston at slot 70, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in Round 4, Pick 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown slid further than he should have, and No. 160 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at the 221st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
Taking RJ Harvey in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 248 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick251 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at slot 251 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
