Faced with two identical grades, the Giants got extra credit for doing their homework.
After no offensive tackles were selected in the first four picks of the 2022 NFL Draft, Giants general manager Joe Schoen recognized he could deftly manipulate the board by drafting pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux at No. 5 and waiting for an offensive tackle at No. 7. The luxury of having Ikem Ekwonu and Evan Neal graded “side-by-side” was the comfort that the Giants could allow the tackle-needy Panthers to choose between the two at No.
“He improved as the game went on,” Panthers offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo said. “He went through a rough spot there in the middle but he kept fighting.” Both Neal and Ekwonu were mentioned as potential No. 1 overall picks, but the Jaguars opted instead for defensive lineman Travon Walker. With the Panthers on the clock, Neal readied for the possibility of hearing his name. He instead was forced to wait another 10 minutes. The financial difference in picks No. 6 and No. 7 is about $3 million over the life of a four-year contract.
