Mosqueda B/R: Breaking Down Every NFL Team's & #8232;"Jerry Reese took over as the New York Giants general manager in 2007 after spending over a decade climbing the team's front office ladder. Reese has been on the job so long he's drafted a few of every type of player, but if you split the first third of his career from the last two-thirds of his career, there is a clear difference.& #8232;From 2007 through 2009, the team spent 11 picks on players in the first through third rounds. Of those 11 selections, only two, or 18 percent, were used on players at the line of scrimmage. Only one, a Cal Poly prospect, wasn't from a Power Five conference.& #8232;From 2010 through the present day, the team has spent 20 picks on players in the first through third rounds. Of those 20, 10 selections, or 50 percent, were used on players at the line of scrimmage. Only five were from non-Power Five conferences, with the schools represented being South Florida, East Carolina, Troy, Colorado State and Boise State.& #8232;In the last two-thirds of Reese's career, the team has been more likely by nearly three times to spend top picks on trench players. The team is also about three times more likely to spend an early pick on a player from a school outside the traditional football factories of the Power Five conferences.& #8232;While Reese has done a little of everything, he is recently much more open to bringing in big bodies and small schoolers than he previously was."
