Part 7/9:
In round five, Skinner selects Braden Swinson, an edge rusher from LSU. Swinson has recorded impressive defensive statistics, including eight sacks and twelve tackles for loss in the current season. While Skinner does not project Swinson as a superstar, he believes that his athletic ability and overall technique could contribute positively to the squad, blending seamlessly into the Giants' defensive schemes.

First is Holland Pierce, an offensive tackle from Rutgers, who stands at 6'8" and weighs 344 pounds. Skinner describes him as a project player, needing considerable development but possessing the physical tools to offer potential in the future.
