Right Tackle: Ikem Ekwonu

Coming in at 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds, Ikem Ekwonu had himself a monster season at NC State, gaining a pass blocking grade of 78.3, alongside a run blocking grade of 93.8 per, PFF. In addition to these grades, Ikem Ekwonu only allowed 3 sacks, 0 QB hits, and 10 QB hurries in 500 pass blocking snaps.

Whether it be his inhuman combo of size, power, and mobility, his incredible ability as a run blocker, or his ridiculous blocking at the second level, Ikem Ekwonu is truly a special prospect. While his size may make him a better fit at guard, I believe his ability as a run blocker is something the NY Giants desperately need at the position.

If the New York Giants are able to draft Ikem Ekwonu to add to their new signees, they will have the potential to have one of the better offensive lines in the NFL this season.
