Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants bet the future on Ward. The board says B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jay Higgins got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 31.

The whole projection now runs through Cam Ward; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: safety settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In slot 2 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and the 33rd pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mykel Williams
Taking Mykel Williams in pick No. 66 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to No. 102, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the 134th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick159 Rnd5 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at Round 5, Pick 21 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
Steal is underselling it; Kalel Mullings at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at pick 245 for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
A running back of that caliber at the 256th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
