The Giants selected Georgia offensive lineman Andrew Thomas with the No. 4 overall pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The CBS Sports NFL Draft team breaks down the pick below, including a grade for the pick, how it affects fantasy leagues and more on Thomas, including his strengths and weaknesses, his NFL comp and more.

4. New York Giants: B+

Pete Prisco: He's the best tackle in this draft class. I think he's the cleanest tackle. This kid's going to be a longtime starter on the left side. This year, he'll start on the right.

Fantasy impact

Dave Richard: Andrew Thomas is a safe pick for the Giants. He has plenty of big game experience, plenty of left tackle experience, and he's missed just one game. He's a very good option to protect Daniel Jones' blindside and pop open holes for Saquon Barkley.
