Draft Grade — Giants
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Ward, and a C, for the Giants.

The Giants spent the pick that matters most on Cam Ward, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The Oladejo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Brooks at that price is a win they earned.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Grey Zabel. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slid further than he should have, and slot 65 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 35 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at No. 105 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Sai'vion Jones
Fair-plus on Sai'vion Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They went early on Kyle Williams in pick 154, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in the 163rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in slot 219 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
By-the-book stuff, Teddye Buchanan at pick 246 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
