Giants agreed to terms with sixth-round OT Matt McCants on a four-year contract.
McCants started 42 games at UAB, but he is a project lacking NFL-ready strength and technique. Fourth-rounder Brandon Mosley has a better chance of seeing action as a rookie, although the Giants have typically brought rookies along especially slowly. McCants won't be playing in 2012 barring the unexpected. Wed, May 9, 2012 09:24:00 PM

Date:

Giants selected Alabama-Birmingham OT Matt McCants with the No. 201 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.

A 42-game starter in C-USA, McCants has prototype left tackle size at 6-foot-6 and over 300 pounds, but lacks strength throughout his body and often plays with poor technique. He does have long arms and a frame to build upon. The Giants won't expect McCants to play early, instead trying to develop him for the long term.
