Two weeks from today we’ll be part of the media overkill covering the NFL Draft and breaking down the Giants’ first round selection, which many believe will be Iowa OL Brandon Scherff (BBB, Apr 17).
Scherff has all the earmarks of becoming a solid NFL offensive lineman, but he may not be what fans and pundits think he is. Listed on many mock websites as a tackle, Scherff is actually projected by scouts and experts to be a guard in the NFL.
The Giants were hoping that a top OT would emerge from the pack this spring and they could implement their plan to move Justin Pugh, who struggled at RT last season, inside to plug the hole at guard.
