Giants, Jets Welcome Offensive Line Help In First Round Of 2020 NFL Draft

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The first round of the NFL Draft went off without a hitch on Thursday night despite a complete overhaul to the process due to the coronavirus pandemic.

With the entire league going virtual so as to abide by social distancing guidelines, each team’s general manager and coach set up their own personal war room in their house rather than at the team facilities. For both New York teams, they exited Thursday night with exactly what they needed, some protection for their young franchise quarterbacks.

The New York Giants selected Georgia’s Andrew Thomas with the fourth overall pick.
