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

The Phillip Webb selection is the head-turner. The Giants reached 75 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Moore.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: safety settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 3 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at the 34th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They read the board right and Tre Harris was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A clean, defensible pick in the 104th pick with a little surplus value in Charles Grant. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in pick 134, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Logan Brown
No edge and no loss on Logan Brown in No. 155; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in No. 221 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at slot 248 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
