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

The search is over. The Giants handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The Simon reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They banked enough surplus on Simon to cover a lot of smaller sins.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They read the board right and Walter Nolen was the payoff at slot 34. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They took Zy Alexander at par in No. 65, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 104th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in pick No. 134 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 155th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick221 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
A reach for LaJohntay Wester in Round 7, Pick 3; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Joshua Simon
Joshua Simon at pick 248 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
