New York Giants
When you have a young franchise quarterback, you’d better protect him, and that’s why the Giants have spent two of their three picks so far on offensive tackles. Georgia’s Andrew Thomas was the most polished and pro-ready prospect in this year’s loaded tackle class, and UConn’s Matt Peart was a solid value at the tail end of the third round.
Sandwiched between then was one of the better picks of the second round, as the Giants landed the best safety in this year’s class, Alabama’s Xavier McKinney. He can bring what’s been missing since fellow Crimson Tide alum Landon Collins left town.
The Giants could have filled other needs in the third round instead of double-dipping at tackle, but it’s hard to blame them. The first two picks were both fantastic.
