New York Giants mock draft: Passing on WR in round one

Anthony Bradford, OL, LSU

The New York Giants should look to bolster their offensive line depth. One potential option to consider on Day 3 is LSU offensive lineman Anthony Bradford, who can play both guard and tackle positions. Bradford has showcased impressive power and strength during his time at LSU and could add a new level of physicality to the Giants’ offensive line.

Bradford has experience playing multiple positions and has proven to be effective in both the run and pass game. In the run game, he excels in power/gap schemes and is able to drive defenders off the ball. With his size and mass, he can create displacement at the line of scrimmage and make it difficult for defensive linemen to shed him once he is engaged. Bradford’s finisher mentality and commitment to executing his blocks throughout the play make him an effective asset.

In pass protection, Bradford handles power rushers well and can anchor down to prevent them from collapsing the pocket. With his powerful hands, he can slow the momentum of rushers and throw powerful punches to disrupt their progress. However, he needs to work on his lateral agility to better deal with speed rushers attacking the gaps.

Overall, Bradford has the mass, length, and physical temperament necessary to be an effective interior offensive lineman. With a little improvement in his lateral agility, he has the potential to become a reliable starter in the NFL. Bradford’s versatility makes him a valuable asset to any team, and the Giants could benefit from his ability to play multiple positions on the offensive line.
