The Giants improved their offensive line by selecting guard Joshua Ezeudu with the 67th overall pick of the NFL Draft on Friday.

The three-year North Carolina starter was a standout offensive lineman that had to protect Tar Heels quarterback Sam Howell. The 6-foot-4 blocker was versatile during his time with North Carolina, playing both guard and sometimes tackle.

Ezeudu is the second offensive lineman picked during Giants’ GM Joe Schoen’s first draft, with tackle Evan Neal being taken at No. 7 overall on Thursday.

In one of, if not the, most important year of Daniel Jones’ career, the addition of Ezeudu will hopefully give Jones more time within the pocket.
