The New York Giants decided to improve the trenches with the No. 10 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
After selecting Arvell Reese with the No. 5 overall pick of the NFL Draft, the New York Giants decided to go offense at No. 10, nabbing Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa.
Mauigoa was viewed by some as the best offensive tackle in this year's draft class, but the Cleveland Browns actually took Utah's Spencer Fano one pick ahead of him at No. 9.
What makes Mauigoa so impressive is his rare blend of tremendous strength and athleticism, which he flashed at the Scouting Combine.
The 6-foot-6, 330-pound lineman also has a nasty streak and a mauler's mentality that should play very well on the professional level.
Of course, the question is, where will the Giants put Mauigoa?
New York has elite tackle Andrew Thomas on the left side, and it re-signed Jermaine Eluemunor to man the right tackle position.
The Giants do have a massive need at right guard, however, so it seems like they will have Mauigoa kick inside, which was speculated before the draft.
Protecting quarterback Jaxson Dart is obviously a top priority for New York, so snatching Mauigoa with a top-10 pick is entirely understandable.
And considering there were some who felt the University of Miami product could go in the top five, this was also an incredible value pick for New York.
The Giants acquired the 10th overall selection in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals, when they sent defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals in exchange for the pick last week.
Many expected New York to select Ohio State Buckeyes safety Caleb Downs at No. 10, but the Giants instead opted for the less flashy addition.
But in reality, the G-Men made the right choice.
There are serious questions about Downs' knee issue, and safety is absolutely not a position you would usually draft inside the top 10.
Meanwhile, the Giants had a glaring need on the interior of their offensive line, and they addressed it with perhaps the best offensive lineman in this class.
Barring a trade, New York won't pick again until No. 37 in the second round, where it may select a cornerback, defensive tackle or wide receiver.
