New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese said Thursday, April 25, that OT Justin Pugh was the team’s highest-rated player remaining on their draft board when they selected him No. 19 overall in the 2013 NFL Draft. ‘We are really happy to get him,’ head coach Tom Coughlin said. ‘I have been asked, ‘Do you think it is time for you to take a hard look at your offensive line in terms of young talent?’ Well, there always is. Some years it is just not available to you. So we do feel like the addition of some young talented players in our offensive line is going to help us going forward in the future.’
