Eric Edholm's Commentary
At the NFL combine, Thibodeaux was asked who his toughest interview was with. His answer: the Giants. They wanted to know what he was made of. The talent speaks for itself. Will he be too big for the Big Apple? First-year Giants GM Joe Schoen makes a bold bet on “no” with his first selection in the captain’s chair. Bold, bold maiden pick, but he’s the pass rusher the Giants need.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
We thought they’d go OL first, then pass rusher, given the Panthers were on deck at No. 6. But they still get a top-tier talent who is actually more ready Day 1 than the player taken one spot ahead of him. Neal is a multi-position blocker with starting experience at both tackle spots and guard. He’s highly strong and explosive but lacks lateral quickness. But we love the pick, even if they went at it a bit oddly.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Robinson is a very undersized converted running back who can fill the role that many envisioned for Kadarius Toney (if he's dealt). Although Robinson's quickness and shiftiness is impressive, his size limitations could make him only a gadget type performer.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
A riser during the draft process, Ezeudu won over talent evaluators with his versatility (starting experience inside and out) and his tenacious blocking and finishing. His pass protection needs work, especially if he's moved inside, where he has fewer reps. A solid project.

CB
Position
- Draft Grade: C-

Eric Edholm's Commentary
We project Flott to the slot — hey, a rhyme! — because of his small frame (under 180 pounds) and limited length. But he's a feisty competitor with good character and plenty of upside. He won't turn 21 until late in the preseason and can improve in time under the watchful eye of a detail-oriented staff. But we viewed him as a mid-Day 3 value.
