Best players remaining for the NY Giants on Day 3 of the NFL Draft

3. Syracuse RB Sean Tucker

With all the rumors swirling around Saquon Barkley and his potential contract extension, it would not surprise us to see the Giants draft a potential replacement for the 26-year-old RB. If they decide to go this route, Sean Tucker may be their guy in the fifth or sixth round.

Tucker is a compact, but powerful running back who is always looking to hit the hole hard and get positive yards no matter what. He may not be an incredibly exciting athlete like Barkley, but he will always be pushing the ball forward.

In 12 games at Syracuse last season, Tucker ran the ball 204 times for 1,064 yards and 11 touchdowns, averaging 5.2 yards per carry. Even if the Giants decide to keep Barkley around, Tucker could provide a nice change of pace for the Giants' offense when he's on the field. Honestly, this duo would be very reminiscent of the old Ron Dayne, Tiki Barber "Thunder and Lightning" tandem of old.

Adding a player like Tucker would not only give the Giants a much-needed power back, but they could also potentially find their RB of the future if he manages to develop his pass-catching game.
