Evan Neal A Possibility For Giants In First Round
3 years agoThe New York Giants hold picks No. 5 and 7 in the first round of Thursday's NFL draft, and Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal is a real possibility for them. NFL's Mike Garafolo isn't sensing any real medical concerns about Neal from the Giants or the majority of teams in the league. Left tackle Andrew Thomas is starting to play well, but the Giants could use another tackle for their offensive line. A lot of people have connected New York with Mississippi State tackle Charles Cross, but he's more of a left tackle. Neal is viewed as more versatile and would likely transition more seamlessly to the right side of the O-line. The Giants are a candidate to trade their No. 7 overall pick for more draft capital if they get a guy they really like at No. 5. If the Giants keep the No. 7 overall pick, they're expected to go defense.
