Possible offensive line picks for Giants
Four offensive linemen the Giants could be targeting in the first round (assuming that USC's Tyron Smith is not within reach because the Giants pick 19th):
1 MIKE
Florida, 6-5, 303
Can play guard or center but Giants would likely have him at center . . . Twin of Maurkice Pouncey, a first-round pick of the Steelers in 2010 and a second-team All-Pro as a rookie . . . Had troubles snapping the ball early last season after moving from guard.
2 ANTHONY
CASTONZOBoston College, 6-7, 311Has been called the draft's most polished tackle . . . Four-year starter at BC after not being recruited by D-I programs . . . Reportedly scored 41 (out of 50) on Wonderlic at combine . . . Giants offensive line coach Pat Flaherty ran his pro day workout.
3 NATE SOLDER
Colorado, 6-8, 319Converted tight end still has the athleticism of a skill position player . . . Could be the "dancing bear" type of tackle GM Jerry Reese likes . . . His height could give him trouble with smaller pass rushers . . . Some scouts believe he still could add 25-30 pounds without losing quickness.
4 GABE CARIMI
Wisconsin, 6-7, 314
Not as much a true athlete as Castonzo or Solder, but a strong, ferocious blocker who could play tackle or guard . . . Proclaimed himself "the No. 1 tackle" during interviews at the combine.
