The New York Giants selected offensive tackle Andrew Thomas in Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft, but now is where the real work begins.
The Giants have just one early second-round pick and then one late third-round pick, so they’re going to need a quality player in Round 2.
The good news? There’s a lot to pick from. Here’s a look at 15 potential targets.

The Giants need a center and they need one now, even with Spencer Pulley under contract and free agent Jon Halapio aiming for a June return.
Selecting Hennessy or any other offensive lineman would be the second consecutive pick lacking flash, but that’s not what the Giants need right now. What they need is to establish a quality offensive line long-term, and the addition of Hennessy would go a long way in doing that.
Not to mention, the kid is a huge Giants fans.
“I remember going to those games just as Eli was starting to take over. Remember the Super Bowls. Those were two of my best childhood memories. It was fifth and eighth grade,” Hennessy told ESPN. “Went to the stadium both times for the celebration after. Got all the gear. Got to see the [Lombardi] trophy and everything.”
