Giants Strengthen Trenches, Draft JC Davis

0:00It's April 26th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. The New York Giants kept building their trenches in the draft, snagging Illinois offensive tackle, JC Davis with the 192nd pick-in, the sixth round. That selection came from the Darren Waller trade with the Miami Dolphins. After grabbing a defensive interior guy earlier, they doubled down on the offensive line to beef up the box. Darren Harboss making the interior his priority in his first Giants draft. Davis fits the mold perfectly gritty, versatile, and straight-mean. It's part of their push to overhaul that unit, creating real competition between first and second strings for starting spots. Davis racked up 47 starts at left tackle in college, but scouts see him sliding inside to guard. His shorter, wider frame suits it better, especially after he took reps there at the senior bowl. Those massive arms and hands have kept him afloat at tackle, despite some footwork issues.

1:00What stands out is his run-blocking fire. Doos got power from the ground up, a strong legs to displace defenders, core strength to roll hips, and a grip that won't quit. He's durable, nasty underbrevileema's coaching, and crushed it across three college stops. If Davis locks down guard and camp and makes the roster, the Giants could cut some veteran deals, freeing up about $3 million in cap space. To chase other needs, that's how you build depth and flexibility heading into the season.
