3.) Matt Peart

Peart is a developmental commodity, who was selected in the third round to provide more depth at tackle. However, he has the tangible traits to develop nicely into a starting player moving forward. The University of Connecticut product actually has a better frame for a left tackle. The Giants intend to refine him into a right tackle.

During the NFL combine this year, he finished in the 90th percentile of all tackles. He had the longest reach out to combine with 36 5/8 inches. At 6-foot-6, Peart has a fantastic frame that just needs a little bit more bulk.

Matt has been starting since 2016 in college, playing both left and right tackle. In his senior campaign, he only allowed 2.0 sacks, one quarterback hit, and four quarterback hurries over 415 pass-blocking snaps. He has never been injured and represents plenty of potential for the New York Giants.
