The New York Giants don’t have a great recent history with taking tackles in the top 10, and current first round pick Andrew Thomas is worrying fans for one big reason – there’s a real chance that he turns out to be the second coming of Ereck Flowers.
Taking Flowers in the top 10 was one of the bigger Giants draft mistakes in recent memory, if not the biggest. He picked up a reputation for being a turnstile for opposing defenses, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that many Giants fans were left traumatized from watching Flowers block for Eli Manning.
