Draft Week: Top OL Candidates
By author
Danny Watkins
G, Baylor
Although older than most other prospects at age 27, Danny Watkins is a solid pickup for a team in need of a Guard. Although he was a starter at Left Tackle for a couple seasons, he is not a prototypical LT in the NFL. With the Giants I would see him providing competition for the interior linemen, and would expect him to be a great run blocking addition to the Giants.
