0:45.2	Today we're here to break down some offensive tackles coming into the 2022 NFL draft.
0:52.1	New York Giants pick at 5, New York Giants pick at 7, at least as now. The expectation is they're going to come out of one of those two critics with an offensive tackle. Now, a lot remains to be determined as far as as who that offensive tackle is.

2:01.7	And that includes Penning to who I've watched a little bit of and Raymond, who I start to watch
2:05.2	a little bit of. But Kwano is the most fun player by far, I think, because he just explodes into
