Draft Week: Top OL Candidates
By author
Gabe Carimi
OT, Wisconsin
Carimi is your prototypical lineman – size, strength, and consistency. I think the Giants would love a guy like this except for one thing — Injuries. With their linemen coming off an injury riddled year the GMEN are going to look for consistency not just in technique, but in playing time. They absolutely need to hit the ground running from day one with this facet of the offense, the Giants cannot afford to have another year with plug-and-hopefully-play lineman at their disposal.
