New York Giants draft Matt Peart with pick No. 99

General manager Dave Gettleman continued to beef up the New York Giants‘ offensive line on Friday night. The Giants took another offensive tackle. This time it’s Connecticut’s Matt Peart with the 99th overall pick.

The Giants were awarded this compensatory pick due to the free agents they lost last offseason. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound Peart is the second offensive tackle Gettleman takes in this draft after taking Andrew Thomas with the fourth overall pick.

Welcome to Big Blue, Matt Peart!
