With the New York Giants’ third pick (No. 99 overall) in this year’s draft, they again addressed the offensive line again by selecting UConn Offensive Tackle Matt Peart.
That’s right, another hog molly for general manager Dave Gettleman.
This selection was a compensation pick that Big Blue received for losing Landon Collins in free agency to the Washington Redskins. This was the Giants lone 3rd round pick after they traded what ended up being the 68th pick to the Jets in the middle of the 2019 season for Leonard Williams.
