2019 NFL Draft: Implications of Kyler Murray going No. 1 overall

This pick was acquired by the Giants in the Odell Beckham Jr. trade with the Browns. While New York will seriously consider an edge rusher here, particularly after the Olivier Vernon trade, in this scenario, I think they would look to solidify their offensive line.

If the Giants grab Haskins with the No. 6 pick, they should look at drafting a tackle here to make sure his protection is bolstered before putting  him out there. Washington State’s Andre Dillard is a pure tackle prospect, and arguably the best pure pass blocker in this class.

After playing in Mike Leach’s air-raid system, Dillard will take some work getting his stance and technique down as a run blocker, but he’ll be a strong pass blocker from day one, something that a rookie quarterback like Haskins will appreciate greatly.

Dillard might not be ready to start right away, but neither will Haskins, meaning Dillard will probably be ready around the same time, so the pick makes sense. Oklahoma’s Cody Ford and NC State’s Garrett Bradbury are more pro-ready, but Dillard’s ceiling is of a Pro Bowl left tackle, something that would be difficult to pass on.

If they decide against offensive line, Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell would get a look to add a young edge rusher. They might also look at a young wide receiver to grow with Haskins, like Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry or one of the several other quality receivers in this class. With an early second round pick, too, the Giants should be able to still find a good receiver on day two.
