Twitter reacts to Giants’ selection Shane Lemieux

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman promised that he would address the offensive line in the 2020 NFL Draft and he was not kidding.

In the fifth round and with the 150th pick of the draft, the Giants selected Oregon guard Shane Lemieux.

Lemeiux is the third offensive linemen selected in the draft. The Giants took Andrew Thomas out of Georgia with the fourth overall selection and Matt Peart from Connecticut in the third round.

Social media reacted to the Giants selection of Lemeiux in the fifth round.

Bringing Shane Lemieux into the fold could lend more credence to the idea that Giants will give Nick Gates a shot at center if and when the team gets on the field again for camp.

That would leave Lemieux as top iOL reserve. Just spitballing.

Tiny bit of a head-scratcher here, but this shouldn’t take away from the fact Shane Lemieux is a good football player. He started 52 games at left guard for Oregon. He’s a physical bully in the trenches. Bit surprised they went for a backup guard. #Giants

Thoughts on the offensive line depth selections for the Colts and Giants. New York got a steal in Shane Lemieux. The Giants are having a phenomenal draft https://t.co/SwjtBgVFku

Oregon had the best offensive line in the country last year. Shane Lemieux is a good pick here.

The New York Giants select @ShaneLemieux who should have the opportunity to compete for a starting job. The Giants O-line was subpar and Lemieux should be able to have an instant impact.
