Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureD
The Giants drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Giants spent their marquee pick on Cam Ward, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

The Frazier reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Reed.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 5 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen slid further than he should have, and pick 34 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at slot 36, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick No. 75 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A quiet steal in the 105th pick: Savion Williams for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 4, Pick 5 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce slipping to the 126th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick No. 154 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They let Dont'e Thornton Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 187. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at Round 6, Pick 18 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick 195 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick201 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Value with a capital V on Jason Marshall Jr. in the 202nd overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They will replay Jaylen Reed at the 219th pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A tidy little value on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick246 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Teddye Buchanan in the 246th pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
