Who are the mean and/or tenacious blockers in this draft?

Judge_and_Jury : 4/10/2021 6:51 pm
Judging by the type of player Giants have gone for at OG

Meaning both Hernendez and Lemieux. What did the Giants envision when they selected them? Does that give us a clue to the type of OG they will select in rd. 2 , 3 , or 4 of this draft?

I think they will look for that mean, nasty ,block you to the whistle, always looking for work type player.

Even Thomas at LT was probably the top run blocker of the 4 in terms of consistency and mean streak.

Slater may not be that type . Teven Jenkins definitely. Leatherwood not so much. Creed Humphrey, Wyatt Davis probably moreso.

Who else fits this criteria in this class?
Eric Hermann

was pretty big and mean and sucked. And we liked the Hernandez pick because of the mean streak, but so far he's just mediocre. I'd prefer we worry foremost about who can best get the job done. If 2 guys are equal, yeah, I'll take the ornery one
Love to draft 2 or 3

Penei Sewell, Teven Jenkins, Landon Dickerson, Creed Humphrey, Quinn Meinerz, Jackson Carmen, Tre Smith, Ben Cleveland to name a few

Well, I agree on Eric Hermann, but he did play for the Ohio Bobcats. I am pretty sure someone like Teven Jenkins is more likely the real deal.
You named a few of them

Trey Smith is known to take souls

Ben Cleveland is built like the Mountain from Game of Thrones

Good list. Probably 2 or 3 of those guys make it to 76. Should we go something like WR/Pass rush 1st 2 rds

Has some real nastiness to his game. One of my favorite sleepers in the class.

Love Davis. He loves to run people out of the play.

I’m not high on him. He’s coming off an ankle injury and isn’t good in pass protection from what I’ve read; similar skill set to Lemieux.
Aaron Banks, OG Notre Dame.

Described as a power gap offense guy, anchors in pass protection, always looking for someone to hit on a play.

Definitely physical, but man I personally find him to be overrated. I see his balance and anchor all over the place and is slow to react to double moves. Honestly I see a lot of Hernandez in him. Hope I'm wrong.
