NY Giants GM Dave Gettleman surprised many when he took offensive tackle Matt Peart out of UCONN win the third-round of the draft. However, the move was actually a shrewd one; double-tipping at the draft’s strongest position group that also happens to be your weakest position group is good business.
Before this 2020 NFL Draft, the NY Giants had just about zero long-term answers at offensive tackle – and that’s no disrespect to our guy Nick Gates who seems to be trying out other endeavors. Now, the team has its bonafide left tackle of the future and a 6’7 monster prospect to potentially man the right side for years to come.
