31. . Offensive Tackle. New York Giants. Andrew Thomas. 3. player

The New York Giants played a road game inside their home stadium on Sunday, as they took on the New York Jets in Week 10 action inside Metlife Stadium. The Giants were seen as the favorite in this game, especially with the Jets coming off a putrid loss at the hands of the previously winless Miami Dolphins the week before.

Well, the Giants once again proved how inept they are as a franchise, losing to the Jets in a way that showed they may be the worst team to play inside that stadium. New York has a ton of issues with their roster, including up front along the offensive line, where they need to get more protection for prized rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.

The best overall offensive lineman in this draft class is Andrew Thomas, and he is someone who could come in and start at left tackle for this Giants team immediately. That would enable them to move Nate Solder to the right side, as he is no longer an elite left tackle, giving the Giants much better protection up front for Jones.

59. . Quarterback. Miami Dolphins. Tua Tagovailoa. 4. player

All of sudden, the Miami Dolphins look like an actual football team, and are heading into Week 11 with a two-game winning streak. Sure, the win against the New York Jets in Week 9 was a good one, but the Jets are trash this season, which makes their win in Week 10 the  most impressive so far for the Dolphins.

This past Sunday, the Dolphins went into Indianapolis to take on the Colts, a team that was fully entrenched in the playoff conversation in the AFC. Miami was able to take care of business against the Colts, showing incredible moxie, and they have really taken on the attitude of head coach Brian Flores. They are disciplined, and they do not give up.

Right now, the Dolphins are actually in good shape, as they hold five first round picks over the next two years, and have the ability to bring in an elite franchise quarterback prospect. Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa would be the perfect new face of the franchise, as he is not only an outstanding football player, but also an outstanding human being as well.
