31. . Offensive Tackle. Washington State. Andre Dillard. 17. player

The New York Giants will pick twice in the first round this April, this after swinging a trade with the Cleveland Browns for Odell Beckham Jr. While the trade of Beckham sent shockwaves across the Giants fan base, the team obviously wanted to move on from him, and getting a first rounder, a third rounder, and Jabrill Peppers did the trick.

In April, the Giants will now hold the No. 17 overall pick, which the Browns earned by nearly making the playoffs last season. With that pick, New York should look to add some more talent to the offensive line, and Andre Dillard is a guy they could insert as their starting right tackle tomorrow.

Dillard was a key players for some very good Washington State teams during his time at the school, and protected the blindside of Gardner Minshew last season, who had one of the better passing seasons in school history. The Giants spent a lot of money on Nate Solder last offseason, and he could stay on the left side, giving the team a solid tandem at the position.

The biggest question for this franchise heading into 2019 is what they are going to do at quarterback, and that should be addressed early in the draft. Eli Manning has a year left in him, and this team should be building this roster for life after he retires, and Dillard could be an anchor on this offensive line for years.
