Giants look to beef up on offensive line, but after Quenton Nelson, there’s a drop-off

Quenton Nelson will be the first offensive lineman off the board when the NFL Draft commences on Thursday evening. The guard from Notre Dame is a complete package of physical strength, surly personality, spotless technique and impressive athleticism.

He’s as polished as the shiny gold helmet he wore in college and many believe he is the best player in this year’s draft. He’s so enticing that the Giants seem to be considering taking him with the No. 2 overall pick.

“Is it ever too early to take a great player?” Giants general manager Dave Gettleman said last week.
