NY Giants Pick 112. Isaiah Spiller, RB, Texas A&M

The Giants are lacking depth at the running back position. With Saquon Barkley’s recent injury history, it would make sense to add some insurance to the position. Texas A&M’s Isaiah Spiller is among one of the best overall running backs in this year’s class. He could immediately help this running back room become better.

While at Texas A&M, Spiller was a three-year starter. He posted near-identical numbers in each year, tallying a total of 2,993 rushing yards and 25 rushing touchdowns, on 541 career attempts. He also proved to be a threat in the receiving game, racking up 74 career receptions and 585 receiving yards. Spiller has also proven to be a willing blocker. This ability, paired with his pass-catching skills, will allow him to be on the field often.

At 6-foot-0 and 217 pounds, Spiller is also a pretty big running back. He has shown on multiple occasions that it is nearly impossible to take him down with first contact. He recorded 647 yards after contact and 56 forced missed tackles in 2021.

While he will be brought in to sit behind Saquon Barkley, Spiller has all the tools to transition to RB1 if the Giants choose to move on from Barkley at some point down the line. Spiller also plays a style of football that is very NFL-ready. He could end up being one of the best running backs in this class.

NY Giants Pick 147. Charlie Kolar, TE, Iowa State

The Giant’s tight end situation isn’t the best at the moment and they will have to address it at some point in the draft. Iowa State’s Charlie Kolar could be the perfect addition to compliment both Ricky Seals-Jones and Jordan Akins, both of the tight ends that the Giants added this off-season.

Kolar was a four-year starter at Iowa State. Over time he developed into a legitimate receiving threat. He finished his collegiate career with a total of 168 receptions, 2,181 receiving yards, and 23 touchdowns. He quickly turned into a first-down machine and a threat in the red zone. 129 of his career receptions resulted in either a touchdown or a first down.

At 6-foot-6 and 248 pounds, Kolar can regularly win against his defenders. His size often allows for him to move down the field as he pleases. He isn’t the fastest tight end and has occasionally struggled in blocking, but there is real upside with him.

Having two veteran tight ends in Ricky Seals-Jones and Jordan Akins could help Kolar immensely in his first season. If he can pick up on their blocking skills, and maintain his ability to catch anything thrown in his direction, he could eventually become an elite tight end.
