Ikem Ekwonu – OT, N.C. State

Offensive tackle is a top priority for the NY Giants this offseason, and there’s no better avenue to add a bookend to Andrew Thomas than through the NFL Draft.

Ekwonu is one of the premier offensive tackles in the 2022 class.

Through each of his first two seasons, Ekwonu led N.C. State’s offensive line in pancake blocks, and entered the month of October as Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded offensive tackle in the nation, with a 93.7 overall mark.

Ekwonu is one of the premier road-grading offensive tackles in college football this season, and would fit right in along the NY Giants’ offensive line, opening up running lanes for Saquon Barkley.
