The New York Giants have not satisfied their need at offensive tackle despite the free agent addition of Cam Fleming, which is why many believe it’s the position they’ll address in the 2020 NFL Draft.
That was Luke Easterling’s line of thinking when he compiled the latest mock over at Draft Wire, where he has the Giants selecting Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs at No. 4 overall.
Any of this year’s top four offensive tackle prospects could make a strong case to go here, which is good news for the Giants, who need a franchise player at the position. Wirfs is a rare athlete for his size, and has as much upside as any other tackle in the class. He’s ready to protect Daniel Jones from Day 1.
The selection of Wirfs comes with both cornerback Jeff Okudah and linebacker/safety Isaiah Simmons still on the board, which will undoubtedly lead to some intense debate. It also came with every other offensive tackle still available, which will lead to even further debate.
In Round 2 and Round 3, the Giants addressed their needs along the edge and at safety, selecting Wisconsin linebacker Zach Baun and Clemson safety K’Von Wallace, respectively.
Prior to taking their scouts and personnel off the road, the Giants had expressed a significant interest in Baun and were working directly with him. Meanwhile, Wallace would add another young talent to an already very young secondary.
