Andrew Thomas over other OTs
For some, this wouldn’t come as a surprise. Thomas has a tremendous amount of support — especially among fans — and was considered the top offensive tackle prospect at the end of the 2019-2020 college season.
Since then however, Jedrick Wills Jr., Tristan Wirfs and Mekhi Becton have seemed to surpass Thomas in the mind and eyes of many experts, with Wills and Wirfs most frequently being connected to the Giants. In fact, Wirfs has become the consensus pick for the Giants at No. 4 overall, assuming they do not trade back.
However, more so than in recent years, the Giants, with head coach Joe Judge influencing some decisions, have been sending out smokescreens and seemingly leaking misinformation. Could the fascination with Wirfs be a product of that?
David Diehl and Shaun O’Hara both seem to believe Thomas is the best offensive tackle prospect coming out of the draft and could be a plug-and-play starter for the Giants. They are also more likely keyed in on the team’s thinking.
Would Thomas be the right call? That’s up for debate, but based solely off the speculation in recent months, Thomas getting the call at No. 4 would be a surprise.
