Round 2, Pick 37: Dalton Risner, OT, Kansas State

After landing Nate Solder in 2018 free agency and receiving Zeitler in the Vernon trade, the Giants are in a great position on their offensive line, which is a far cry from where they’ve been. However, they could still stand to upgrade the right tackle spot that Chad Wheeler struggled mightily in last season. Dalton Risner out of Kansas State can help them with that.

Risner started three years at right tackle for the Wildcats in college and established himself as a consistent force in that regard. He’s mean and highly effective in the run game, which bodes well for Saquon Barkley moving forward. While some think his length means that he should move inside to guard, I’m confident in his ability at tackle. Plus, having a movable piece of Risner’s caliber is never a bad thing either given the way injuries can pile up with the big guys on offense.

Round 3, Pick 95 (via CLE): Preston Williams, WR, Colorado State

Preston Williams is one of the more fascinating evaluations in the 2019 draft class. On one hand, he offers the size and athleticism that you want from a No. 1 wide receiver. On the other hand, Williams has a ton of red flags, some on the field — doesn’t always play to his big frame — and some off the field — was arrested while at Tennessee, leading to his transfer to Colorado State.

Having said that, Beckham being traded leaves the Giants wide receiver corps in an awful position. They have Sterling Shepard, but not much else to really work with. As such, they take a gamble on a player with top-50 talent and upside in Williams.

Round 4, Pick 108: Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple

Rock Ya-Sin being available in the fourth round is a steal for the Giants. The Temple cornerback only has one season of playing against AAC competition, but he stood out in that one year with the Owls. He has great physical tools and stickiness in man coverage. While his time at Presbyterian College leaves him needing refinement in terms of his feet and technique, the talent and upside are evident. As New York looks to rebuild the secondary, Ya-Sin could be a critical piece for them.
