With this pick and a healthy Rankin, we should good on fatties.

Veach said they look 2-3 years down the road when they make their picks. Makes sense in this case.

Maybe the eventual replacement for Fisher or Schwartz and can play guard and swing tackle for now.

FUCK YEAH FATTIES

Wow. This guy has all the tools to be a starting OT. Pretty damn good value for the end of the 3rd round.

Nice pick for the Giants, solidfy the line for their QB.

At pick 96 a lineman with good physical tools that can potentially provide depth all over the line is nice value.

Lucas Niang carried a second round grade on my board, but make no mistake, he has first round talent. Injuries derailed his stock.

Great value pick by the #Chiefs at 96.

I would've been good with him in the 2nd as well. From the 'call your shot' thread:

Hip injury that slowed him down in '19 after looking like a real 1st round probable in '18. Outstanding physical tools and what appears to be a good head for the game. Just a GIANT dude who is very agile for his size. No experience at LT (IIRC) but might have the tools to play it.

So if he's there in the 2nd...maybe? Depending on the board? You'd want him to get at least a full season to make sure he's recovered from the hip surgery and you can maybe lean him out a bit to make him more agile. Then you work technique like crazy. Then in season 2 you see if you have a guy that can be a swing tackle, in which case you have a potential LT.

And I may just like him more than most - guys that big with plus athleticism are just so damn rare. That's why I liked the Fisher pick when we made it - 6'7" dudes w/ the agility to play on an island at LT are just awfully tough to get your hands on. So I may be falling victim to measurables.

But if the board fell to hell and Niang was sitting there at 63...I'd have to strongly consider taking him.

BPA. This is a damn good draft for us.

Guard would be great. We need nasty at guard. We have nice guys that help pld ladies across the street. We need bar fighters.

Tackles can also be guards, pay attention here
