I can see him finding a Guard Spot or Center by 2026. Twinkle toes, can pull, is a tenacious blocker when locked on, will not sit idle but will find someone to engage at the next level. At his size, Center may be a good fit for him. He can easily put on 25 lbs.
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."
~ Coach Tom Coughlin

The Giants NEEDED to exit this draft with the offensive line talent upgraded.

Mbow's talent and versatility provides immediate depth with growth opportunity for situational packages in the short term, and increased playing time should he develop NFL capability as a center or, better yet, Andrew Thomas' backup.

A nice development opportunity for Carmen Bricillo to turn him into a main-stayer for the offensive line.

Well done, Joe and the scouting team!

Draft Buzz has him listed as an OT, but do to his arm length probably on the inside somewhere. They had him as a late 2nd rounder.


Looking ahead, Mbow projects as a fascinating evaluation for NFL teams. His athletic profile and versatility scream modern NFL offensive lineman, but his optimal position remains a subject of debate. In a zone-heavy scheme, he could develop into a starting tackle, though his immediate impact might come at guard where his length limitations are less exposed.

The team that ultimately selects Mbow will be getting a scheme-diverse lineman with legitimate three-position flexibility. His combination of light feet and nasty finishing attitude will endear him to offensive line coaches, while his experience in both gap and zone schemes provides valuable scheme versatility. While he may need time to develop, particularly if asked to play tackle, his ceiling as a potential starter at multiple positions makes him an intriguing day two prospect.

But man what a great draft !

Even if some of these players don't pan out ... I think arguably we can say most of the fanbase who follows the draft would have been going this same route

Schoen did great


It may be crazy to say , but I wouldn't be surprised if his son follows message boards and stuff and relays the info to his dad lol

It's not necessarily size... it's forward power, and need for more sand in his pants on pass pro.

On the other hand, that is part of the reason why he's so "mobile" for an o-lineman.

If he can put on some weight w/out losing the winning qualities he has, he has a shot at being really good.

k-rich: That's what worries me... the fanbase (us) likes what Schoen did. Are we really that smart? lol
