Draft Grade — Giants
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Giants left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Giants took Jaydon Blue at the 248th pick, roughly 67 spots before his name belonged.

Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. However the rest shakes out, Moore at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In slot 3 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They let Kenneth Grant come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick 65 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick No. 104 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Taking Malachi Moore in Round 4, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 155th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick221 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at slot 221 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
A wild overpay on Jaydon Blue in pick 248, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
