Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the Giants' new face under center. Grade: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Hayden Conner at Round 4, Pick 33. The Giants jumped the board by 76 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The Wilson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
By-the-book stuff, Cam Ward at No. 3 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant is a better player than the 34th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in pick No. 65 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Charles Grant
The board had Charles Grant higher than Round 4, Pick 3, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 134th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 155 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
You do not let a linebacker like Jack Kiser reach No. 221 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Etienne at pick 248 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
