Top 15 Misses of First Three Rounds in 2017 NFL Draft
Dalvin Tomlinson. 8. player. 31. . Defensive Tackle. Alabama Crimson Tide
Alabama Crimson Tide defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson got drafted a little early for a player with one year of starting experience under their belt. He can fill the gaps up front as a run stopper but still needs work on the pass rush.
Tomlinson was a starter on the Alabama defense last season, racking up 62 tackles, but 45 of them were assisted. He had 5.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks and a forced fumble.
They drafted quarterback Davis Webb as well in the latter rounds but offensive line and running back still remains a necessity. However, the quality of prospects is shortening.
Through three picks, the Giants look like they’re experimenting at best. They drafted tight end Evan Engram of Ole Miss with their 23rd pick. The only problem is tight end isn’t a huge need for the Giants. Going forward, they’ll need to buckle down with their picks, they have four left in Rounds 4-7.
