Yes, the needs are many, which is why the Giants could have gone in many different directions with their two selections in the third round.
They took their second offensive lineman in their first four picks when they selected Joshua Ezeudu, a guard from North Carolina at No. 67 overall. Later in the third round, the Giants took cornerback Cordale Flott from LSU at No. 81.
“That’s just what happened based on whatever our team needed,’’ Ezeudu said. “If our team needed a left guard I would move to left guard. If we were struggling at tackle I would move out to tackle.’’ Ezeudu did not participate in any interviews his first three years in college, as he speaks with a noticeable stutter. He overcame that trepidation and got through his first meeting with the media as an NFL player in an emotional conference call after hearing his name called by the Giants. “It was very surreal,’’ Ezeudu said. “You think about it so much, but until it actually happens it kind of shocks you. I was speechless. I didn’t know what type of emotions I had.
