2017 NFL Mock Draft: Browns bolster roster
By Brad Weiss
The New York Giants just may be the class of the NFC East next season, as the Dallas Cowboys are losing pieces to their defense left and right. In 2016, the Giants made the playoffs for the first time in five year, though they looked pretty bad in a Wild Card Round loss to the Green Bay Packers. The solid season was really the result of an upgraded defense, who made a complete 180 from the year before.
Head coach Ben McAdoo is heading into his second season, and he knows that the time is running out on Eli Manning. The Giants brought in Geno Smith to be his backup, and for some reason, feel he could be the heir apparent to Manning in the future. Regardless, Manning still has a few years left, but bringing in talent to protect him has to be the main priority next month.
Garett Bolles is a solid offensive line prospect, and he could stay on the left side at the next level. He showed incredible strength during the NFL Scouting Combine, and has solid footwork for a guy his size. The Giants need to bring in talent along the offensive line, and even if Bolles has to play on the right side in the NFL, he would definitely be an upgrade over the tackles they currently have on their roster.
