OT. Michigan State. Jack Conklin . 10. player. 31. Sorry, OBJ can’t play everywhere but the Giants can make it he seems that way by giving Eli Manning enough time to get him the ball. The best way to do that is, well, to block for him. Last year, the Giants draft Ereck Flowers, who played admirably on the left side after Will Beatty’s pec injury. Even though Beatty is back, the Giants still need more help, which is where Conklin comes in. Some may have Taylor Decker rated more highly, but Conklin’s ability to play guard right away, while also providing long term tackle depth makes him the pick here.
