It wasn’t a surprise Dave Gettleman and the New York Giants went with an offensive tackle in the 2020 draft’s first round, having selected Georgia’s Andrew Thomas. Nonetheless, it was shocking to some that they addressed the offensive tackle spot once again in the third round. The Giants ultimately drafted UConn’s Matt Peart, a 2019 first-team All-AAC selection.
The likely plan is for New York to eventually utilize Thomas as its starting left tackle with Peart becoming the team’s right tackle for the future. But if it were up to a former NFL scout, a significant flip-flop would be executed.
