Round 4 | 2013 NFL Draft Grades: Full Day 3 Report Card | Bleacher Report



1st rounder Justin Pugh was graded an A for Need, a C for Value and a C for Fit. I would agree with the value grade if only because of the position move, but this IS a good fit for the Giants, IMO.

Second day picks:
DT Johnathan Hankins graded (A- for Need, A for Value and A for Fit)
DE Damontre Moore scored  (B, A+, A+) across the board.
so the G-Men get much love on the second day. This is historically where GM Jerry Reese and staff have made their mark.

I like the Nassib pick even if he turns out to be more Ty Detmer or Rex Grossman than Tony Romo. I did not see anyone comment on his ability to hold the clipboard. That will be the QB skill he needs to draw on the most for the next couple of years.

Here is the report card for the final day of the NFL Draft.

4.12 (110) New York Giants (From SD via AZ)—Ryan Nassib (QB Syracuse)

Value pick, but not sure the Giants really needed to make a trade up to get a quarterback without a lot of upside. Nassib projects as a long-term backup for the Giants and may eventually draw comparisons to the Ty Detmers and Doug Pedersons of yore. Great value, though, for a QB who some thought was the top in this class. (Grade B+)


5.19 (152) New York Giants—Cooper Taylor (S Richmond)
Great athlete who transferred to Richmond after some medical issues at Georgia Tech. Nice upside pick for the later rounds if he's able to overcome his health issues and be a long-term NFL player, but this is a reach. (Grade C+)
7.19 (225) New York Giants—Eric Herman (OG Ohio)
Herman is a big fella at 320 lbs and loves to throw defenders around. He'll take some time to develop at the next level, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him as a starter down the road. (Grade B+)
7.34 (253) New York Giants (Compensatory)—Michael Cox (RB Massachusetts)
A Michigan transfer who has the size to bang a little bit between the tackles, but the speed to turn a two-yard gain into a 20-yard one. (Grade A-)
