The Broncos 6-foot-6, 330-pound offensive tackle is a prospect Big Blue’s fans should keep an eye on. The Giants are highly unlikely to use the No. 2 overall pick on the All-American offensive tackle, but he could prove to be great value selection in the second or third rounds.

Gettleman selected Okorafor’s former teammate Taylor Moton with the 64th overall pick in the 2017 draft.  Miller lists the Western Michigan prospect as his “biggest sleeper” at the offensive tackle position.

Okorafor is quickly rising up big boards and can continue to boost his draft stock with a strong performance in the Senior Bowl.

The Giants have questions at both right and left tackle this offseason, especially with Ereck Flowers’ future with the team up in the air. There are differing opinions of whether Okorafor or Rankin is the better prospect, and the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine could prove to be the difference maker of who is selected first.
