2019 NFL Draft: New York Giants 7 round mock draft

Round 6 – Pick 182

Anthony Ratliff-Williams, WR, North Carolina

The previous draft pick of Darwin Thompson speaks to surrounding whoever is playing quarterback with as diverse of weapons as possible. The team is already pretty set with star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and complimentary pieces Evan Engram and Sterling Shepherd. That trio should be the steady force in the passing game moving forward. Add in the dynamic ability of Saquon Barkley and it’s easy to think the passing attack is set. However, with the possibility of a rookie starter in Haskins, it’s never a bad idea to add more pieces.

That is what the selection of Anthony Ratliff-Williams would be. Another chess piece for this offense to compliment their other players. Ratliff-Williams may not bring a discernible trait to the NFL but he is a jack-of-all-trades. The former quarterback can be used for trick plays or in a wildcat formation. As a receiver, he’s a solid route runner and above average athlete. At 6-foot-1 hes a decent sized player who can play on the outside of in the slot. Testing will be big for him because there are questions of his long speed and agility. Once he checks those boxes he will likely rise up boards given his production. Ratliff-Williams would be a great third wheel with Beckham and Sheperd for the Giants offense.

Round 7 – Pick 234

Jon Baker, C, Boston College

Continuing with the theme of revamping the Giants offensive line in the last round is Boston College’s Jon Baker. New York lost center Weston Richburg a year ago in free agency. They’ve been adequate there with a rotation of players since. They could use someone to come in and compete still. Baker would offer that type of player. Coming from Boston College, Baker is a solid all-around offensive lineman.

He missed all of the 2017 season with an injury but bounced back in 2018. He’s not an exceptional athlete but he offers the type of power game that could propel a unit forward. There are things to work on with him, like his short area quickness in getting to the second level but in the last round of hte draft, he’s a solid find. Baker is a developmental prospect with good technique who may surprise some by his early contributions.

Round 7 – Pick 248

Chris Westry, CB, Kentucky

There are not many corners in the NFL that can match Chris Westry’s height. The 6-foot-4 former Kentucky Wildcat does not bring much else to the table though. He struggles at all the areas you’d expect from a big long corner. His traits, especially if he runs fast, will get him drafted though. Westry lost a starting spot after impressing earlier in his career. There is room to grow for the long corner, especially if he can add some size to his thin frame. Testing, as mentioned, will be big for him. In New York, it is a shot in the dark at a unique prospect with little long-term impact.
