Notables:

Will Richardson and Geron Christian are two offensive tackle prospects that could compete for New York’s starting right tackle role in their rookie seasons. Richardson seems to be flying under the radar despite giving up just five quarterback pressures on 400 pass-blocking snaps in 2017, according to Pro Football Focus.

Jeff Holland is coming off a breakout season in his first year as a starter. The 6-foot-2, 249-pound linebacker earned first-team All-SEC honors while racking up 12.5 tackles for a loss, 9.5 sacks, and four forced fumbles.

The Giants have a big need for a slot cornerback but also have needs on the outside as well. Nick Nelson, Anthony Averett, Duke Dawson, and Holton Hill are some mid-round options that would immediately improve New York’s secondary.

Equanimeous St. Brown and D.J. Chark are two wide receiver prospects with a rare combination of speed and size. Both will likely come off the board too early for the Giants, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be great additions to Big Blue’s receiving corps.
