NFL Draft review: No linemen? Giants make franchise history

The Giants accomplished something in the 2016 NFL Draft that they had never done before.

As each pick in the 2016 NFL Draft came up the thought that the New York Giants had to select a lineman -- offensive or defensive -- seemed to gain strength. After all, they always had. In 81 NFL drafts dating back to 1936, a draft had never passed without the Giants selecting at least one one lineman. Until now.

Much to the chagrin of fans expecting/demanding/screaming on social media to get a replacement for right tackle Marshall Newhouse the never selected a lineman.
