The Giants addressed their clear need to improve the offensive line early on Thursday, taking Andrew Thomas with the fourth overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. On Day 2, the Giants took a player who seemed like a lock to go on Day 1 in McKinney and then made sure to find another offensive tackle. GM Dave Gettleman told reporters he wants to fix the offensive line once and for all and this is an excellent start. Thomas and Peart have the two longest arms in the class, so he's got a type. We'll be tracking every player they take and every grade they receive for those picks in this space throughout draft weekend.
