Evan Neal (OT) – No. 5 OVR, New York Giants
Kiper has Neal going to the Giants at No. 5 overall, which is still impressive, but somewhat of a drop from his once-projected landing spot of No. 1 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“Neal is a massive tackle who can overpower defenders in the run game and move his feet as a pass-protector. Andrew Thomas, the No. 4 pick in the 2020 draft, looked much better in Year 2 and could stay at left tackle, pushing Neal to the right side. Neal also played some guard at Alabama, and he could be great there too. This is a big season for quarterback Daniel Jones, so the Giants have to keep him upright,” writes Kiper.
Next … Jameson to an Alabama-heavy team.
