Travis Frederick in 2013 and Zack Martin in 2014.
That's a 1-2 punch right there.
Not to mention Tyron Smith in 2011!
I know it's easy to take a (very) dim view of the Dallas owner, but in terms of fielding a quality team he got John Mara beat... by lightyears.
Some bad picks in there for the Giants. Could really use JPP right now.
Dallas absolutely crushed it with their offensive line picks, no question.

They crushed it with their O-Line picks and then they put a Mack Truck behind it in the name of Ezekiel Elliott and we still haven't figured out how to stop it yet!
Was thinking the same thing.

Head and shoulders above the other 3. Us, Washington and Philly look about the same. Few hits but mostly busts.

Well....I think it is mentioned....
They've got some bad picks here... but Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cox, Lane Johnson, Carson Wentz and DeVonta Smith ain't exactly chopped liver.
2010 Graham, Brandon
2011 Watkins, Danny

2021 Smith, DeVonta

It is, but it is also misleading in a way. As only David wilson is out of the league and Pugh, Flowers, Beckham, and Pierre Paul are all still starting.
I agree they were bad picks for the Giants, but have been productive members of other teams

Somewhere along the way, Jerruh allowed his son and their other smart football people take over decision making. Credit where due.
We all recall Jerruh wanted to draft Johnny Football, and his son talked him out of it
They’ve drafted well, no doubt ]
JPP is still a good player, Pugh is a good player and Prince was a good CB.
Wilson broke his neck, OBJ was on a HOF pace until broken leg and Barkley, unlike Elliott can stay healthy.
Dallas 3 OL were healthy and played almost every game for their 1st 6 years.
Being able to be there week to week just can't be minimalized
Taking Zach Martin in 2014 and then later figuring out a deal to grab Quenton Nelson in 2018 would have really changed the landscape of this team this past decade.
But you don't take Guards early. Right...
