Eagles Enemy Draft Analysis: New York Giants

**Francis Mauigoa, Offensive Tackle, Miami**

Nothing is more important to the success of this new Giants regime than keeping Jaxson Dart healthy. While a lot of the onus falls on Dart not playing like he has a death wish, the Giants can also keep building around him on their lines. Francis Mauigoa is a big, physical offensive lineman that should immediately slot in for the Giants and make a difference. Medical concerns about his back knocked him a few spots in the draft, but if he is healthy, he will really help Dart stay upright. New York reportedly plans to play him at guard to start his career.

**Colton Hood, Cornerback, Tennessee**

The Giants have needs all over their roster so any pick would’ve made sense here, but this made *perfect* sense. The Giants outside cornerback situation is bleak and Colton Hood combines good instincts with athleticism to be a reliable perimeter defender.

**Malachi Fields, Wide Receiver, Notre Dame**

Malachi Fields became a darling of this draft process. After being underutilized in a run heavy Notre Dame offense, Fields made a great impression during the offseason circuit. His combination of size, explosiveness and strong hands make an easy appeal. While he still needs to prove he can handle higher volume, the Giants betting on him here makes sense. Their receiving corps leaves a lot to be desired with Malik Nabers’ health still being a question mark. If Nabers can come back at full strength, it immediately makes Fields a viable #2 in that offense.

**Bobby Jameson-Travis, Offensive Tackle, Auburn**

The Giants continued to deepen their offensive line group. Bobby Jameson-Travis is a stout, physical blocker who will probably be a guard in the NFL but has the ability to slot in there fairly early in his career.

**J.C. Davis, Offensive Tackle, Illinois**

Notice a theme? The Giants took a flier on an incredibly high upside player in Davis. His size, strength and athleticism make him a really attractive tackle prospect. He won’t be able to start early in his career, but this is a swing for the fences by an offensive line-needy team.

**Jack Kelly, Linebacker, BYU**

This feels like a special teams pick. Kelly is a smart, physical defender but lacked the athleticism to make much of a difference at the college level. It would be a pleasant surprise (for New York) if he ended up becoming a plus defender in the NFL.
