With their first of two picks in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the New York Giants selected Joshua Ezeudu, a guard from North Carolina. The Giants will have a second third-round pick, No. 81 overall.
A guard prospect with technical kinks in need of being worked out, Ezeudu possesses the traits and athleticism to find an NFL home. Despite his impressive frame, he doesn’t play with cohesive hands and hips, which limits his power zone and could prevent him from neutralizing NFL power. He’s a more talented blocker on the move and could see a bump in consistency if an offensive line coach can get him playing with more disciplined hands.
