player. 31. Dallas Cowboys fans already have their plane tickets to the Minneapolis for Super Bowl LII. But they forget about the New York Giants, who have a great defense and swept them in 2016. They did so because the Cowboys couldn’t take advantage of their main weakness. <p>The Giants were weak at both OTs and the Cowboys at least didn’t have a good DE that could play. If the Giants protect QB Eli Manning in 2017, the Giants will beat more than the Cowboys. In order to do that, the team must move left OT Ereck Flowers to right OT.</p> <p>Then they can draft Garett Bolles out of Utah to fix the issue of protecting Manning’s blind side. Eli is still an elite QB but needs some type of protection if he’s going to play like one. Bolles is powerful in the running game and he’s quick out of his stance in pass protection.</p> <p>He’s is also nimble footed and has long arms he jars defenders with when he shoots them. He looks like he’s ready to be a solid, Day 1 starter when he gets to the Giants. Then the team is ready to contend as they already know how to handle the Cowboys. </p>. OT. Utah. Garett Bolles. 23
