Hey, Giant Fans. Welcome to The Giant Insider podcast. My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, is the beat writer, The Giant Insider, Chris Pisignano.

0:13.8

Chris, a lot of a lot is being discussed lately about the Giants' right tackle position. And it's really the weakest link on the offensive line.

0:22.1

Not much, not much surprise. I mean, they have Chad Wheeler there, penciled in as the starter now.

0:27.7

I would say that's a very light pencil. The Giants have used. He's a good player, Chad. He's a

0:33.3

decent player, Chad Wheeler, but he is not the answer at right tackle. Right. So I've been under the impression, and I think I'm not alone, that the Giants will select a right tackle very early in this draft and very likely within their first three picks.

0:50.7

I have them taken Cody Ford at 17, who is, he's more of a guard, but he played right tackle the last two years, or the last year, rather, and he's very good. And I shouldn't say he's more of a guard, but he's interchangeable, and I know the Giants and Shermer. I love that. I don't know. I wanted to get your thoughts on who's rising, who's falling, and anything you're

1:12.1

hearing because we heard from a little birdie that Gettleman is absolutely enthralled with the

1:17.1

tackles and the offensive line in this draft. So to think he's not going to go right tackle

1:22.4

with one of those first three picks, I think would be completely incorrect if you think he's not doing that.

1:28.4

Yeah, I agree, but, you know, we need a right tackle bad, and I don't think there's any question,

1:35.2

either with the 17th pick or the second round, he's going to go tackle.

1:39.7

And this kid, I, listen, you know how this stuff is in the draft?

1:42.7

All of a sudden, kids stock rise and who drops and all that, right?

1:46.8

And now to flavor, I shouldn't say the flavor, but this Andre Dillard kid,

1:51.0

I mean, his stock is skyrocketing, you know?

1:54.8

Jonah Williams is kind of like, oh, well, is he going to play guard, tackle, you know?

1:59.5

Jonah Williams was someone who was like a top 10 pick two months ago. Now it's like you could probably get him in the second round. I mean, you know, it's he, he seems to be dropping a little bit. There's Juan Taylor, you know, he's going to go, it looks like he's going to go high. His delicate is climbing. Dude, I'll tell you what, in all honesty, bud, I would not be surprised if Taylor went to us at six. I think it's going to be defense. But if that tip pick is, if that's the guy, I wouldn't be shocked by it. I wouldn't be shocked by it either. Yeah. I mean, I, you know, we're basically the agreement that they're probably going to go D, but would it shock me? No, it wouldn't. No, a lot. Most mocks have him going to Jacksonville right after.

2:38.1

Yeah. We're basically the agreement that they're probably going to go D, but would it shock me? No, it wouldn't.

2:34.8

No, a lot.

2:35.9

Most marks have him going to Jacksonville right after. Yeah, yeah. It seems like Jacksonville is really, you know, looks like they might go with him, which is a pick behind us, you know. Yeah. But Jacksonville also has, you know, more pieces on the defense than us. So that's the difference, you know, but, um, but no, because, you know,

2:52.7

it wouldn't surprise me at all. And if they did go with this kid at right tackle, um,

2:58.4

he, you know, he's a pretty solid player. He's one of the top kids coming out. Uh, you know,
