Round 5: David Diehl (2003)

There were a few solid Round 5 options for the Giants since 2000, but none had the longevity or impact that Diehl had for Big Blue.

Originally drafted as a guard, Diehl would eventually shift outside to tackle, where he’d made a substantial impact for the Giants over the years. In 2008, he was named a Second Team All-Pro and in 2019, he was named to his first and only Pro Bowl.

Oh yeah, Diehl also anchored the offensive line for two championship teams and provided valuable, much-needed leadership throughout his 11-year career.
