I would think they’d probably play Andrew Thomas at left. But if you were starting from scratch and where they got drafted from wasn’t an issue, you’d probably put Peart and left and Thomas on the right. Nagy backed up his statement by shedding light on how rare it is to find a starting left tackle in the middle rounds. Yet, that he believes the Giants found a guy with that type of ceiling in Peart. Usually you can’t get a guy with starting left tackle ability in the third round, and he’s got that type of upside. His feet, his length, he’s done some really good stuff in pass pro. He’s a better athlete than Andrew Thomas. |
Also keep in Mind....Thomas is 21 and Peart is like 24.
Fix OL...many things improve

Agree. Jumbo started at RT and stunk became a fine LT, Parcells admitted he should have moved William Roberts inside sooner to LG. Once he did he flourished. Eric Moore was drafted as a tackle but was most effective at RG (when he felt like playing that is). Who cares where they end up as long as they become good players and a cohesive unit?
I don't care if he starts at LT, RT or RG/LG. As long as we found a 10 year stud starting lineman at #4, its a win!
Almost like Saban’s endorsement of Alabama prospects, everyone’s fairly skeptical, of course, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it doesn’t hold any value.
From what I’ve seen, he’s pretty spot on, most of the time. Should of asked his opinion before we played the Steelers because something has to be flawed with our method of in-practice/training camp evaluations.
Like clockwork, every year some player, drafted or signed, is buried or cut that belongs in our best 11.
Remember that the plan was for Thomas to start at RT, backed up by Fleming with Solder starting at LT backed up by Peart. If it had worked out that way, I was pretty sure Thomas would stay at RT in 2021 if he played well, while Solder tried to hold off Peart and play out his contract.
Also remember that Judge was big on versatility of the O-linemen, so in the back of his mind, he was thinking about which side Thomas and Peart would play on.
Hernandez always was a better fit at RG. And he was so raw when drafted, that he could have been trained to play either side. He survived as a rookie because he had the basics of the position, despite the fact that the OL coach was borderline incompetent.

This is my opinion too. If Peart starts 5 years at LT and Thomas 5 years at RT, then this draft was a tremendous success.

His OP statement is flat out a lie, a distortion of what Nagy wrote, surprise. I will give the poster credit for providing the link, which storyline posits a slightly different POV.
Here's the full quote. Nagy talks about "potential upside to play the left tackle position", which is quite different, isn't it?
"He’s not as good of a football player right now but he’s a better athlete. That’s clear. That’s inarguable."
Why bother with the misquote? To prove your point?
What's even more amusing to me is Ivan15's post above noting "quite a few threads were started [on BBI] about this..."
Yeah Ivan15, there were, and you started at least half of them, over and over and over. LOL.

Age is less important than football mileage.
Just thinking on how either would project at OG, not looking to throw Thomas at OG ala flowers because he stinks
Much rather have both rookie tackles pan out, improve going into 2021 and drafting an impact defender and a WR in first two rds
Or go all in on bud Dupree as the one big signing, trade down in first, grab 2 xtra picks and load up on wr and cb.
Seriously if we drafted 2 wr and 2 cb with our first 4 picks, wouldn’t complain

Hernandez had played zero snaps at RG in his life. What makes you think he is a better fit t there.

Nagy made sure to assure everyone he’s not saying that Peart is the better player of the two Giants draft picks, but that Peart simply offers more athletic abilities at the position.

I didnt miss quote anything you little bitch. It's all in black and white.
Does this matter though? Does he have a vested interest in hyping guys up from Senior Bowl after the draft. I know they love to highlight who has played in the game, but either he's going to be a player or not in the NFL and no need to hype him up for the Draft at that point.

After all that evidence I provided you illiterate half wit, all you got is invective?
Too bad cussing me out doesn't improve your illiteracy, not even a whit.
I'd call you a moron, except that would be an insult to disabled folks.
Learn to read, dolt. BEORE YOU MISQUOTE SOMEONE. Or just give up posting for awhile...
Unless you like getting called out for it.
BTW, what are you, 15? Try having respect for your elders, who can actually READ.
