Walter Football: A
What’s that, you say? Another A? Ya darn tootin.
It came down to Andrew Thomas versus Tristan Wirfs, and the former won. Either way, the Giants couldn’t go wrong. They obtained a blue-chip pass blocker for Daniel Jones, which will help their young quarterback develop. They also spent a third-round pick on another tackle, Matt Peart, who may take over for Nate Solder in a year or two, as well as guard Shane Lemieux, who could start on the interior in the near future. There are no excuses for Jones to fail.
The Giants also addressed their defense quite well. They didn’t find a talented edge rusher, but they spent two early selections on defensive backs Xavier McKinney and Darnay Holmes. Both were excellent picks, especially McKinney. It’ll be more difficult to throw on the Giants next year, and not just by default.
I loved the Giants’ draft as a whole. The only issue is the lack of edge-rushing talent added, but Jadeveon Clowney and Yannick Ngakoue are still available.
