If Big Blue could get either Williams or Brown in the second-round, Giants fans will be smiling ear-to-ear. Draft analysts have differing opinions regarding Texas’ 6-foot-6, 315-pound offensive tackle.

Kiper ranks Williams the third best offensive tackle in this year’s draft class, while Miller gives him the top offensive tackle ranking and seventh overall ranking on his Big Board. CBS Sports on-the-hand has him listed as the fourth best tackle and the No. 27 overall player in their draft rankings.

Williams has already declared for the 2018 draft and is considered one of the best pass protecting offensive tackles in this year’s class. If the Giants have moved on from Manning and are playing a rookie quarterback or Davis Webb at the outset of next season, Williams would be the ideal second-round draft selection.

There’s no guarantee Williams even makes it out of the first-round. But given the wide-ranging opinions surrounding the Longhorns left tackle, it’s not too far-fetched to imagine him sliding into the early second-round.
