It's interesting that in Coughlin's first draft in 1995, he landed a franchise LT with his first pick.  This time around, he doubled down and landed a premiere running back who is showing us what that looks like, AND a starting LT who is looking like the long-term anchor on the QBs blind side.  It only took over a decade to find a viable replacement for Boselli, but Tom has now managed to do it twice.

Talk about symmetry!

In 1995, TC's first draft with the team, the team went LT and RB 1-2.

This year, TC first draft back for the team, the team went RB and LT 1-2.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
