Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Cam Ward is the Giants' quarterback, full stop.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Kroeger left real value on the table behind him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 3 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board had Walter Nolen higher than pick No. 34, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 1, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 104 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Taking Luke Lachey in slot 221 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger at the 248th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
