4. The O-Line is Being Revamped Before Our Eyes

After decades of having inept offensive lines that got progressively worse every season, the Giants’ regime added 10 new offensive linemen this offseason, completing the overhaul of the group. After signing Mark Glowinski and Jon Felicano to anchor the interior, Schoen followed that up by selecting offensive tackle Evan Neal in the first round as well as two North Carolina guards, Josh Ezeudu and Marcus McKethan, later in the draft.

Neal, is the gem of the group. The 6-foot-6, 337-pound freak athlete out of Alabama (with a full six pack of abs!) will form one of the best tackle duos in the league with Andrew Thomas. Neal brings tremendous versatility, something long craved by the Giants, having played one season at left guard, one season at right tackle, and one season at left tackle.

The front office added four new quality starters to the offensive line this offseason, sending a clear message that subpar play in the trenches will no longer be tolerated.
