Certainly, the Giants adage over the past few years has been to draft the best player available, don’t draft based on fit.

Luckily, Ryan Ramczyk is the best of both worlds.

The kid is a big, physical, B1G tackle from a school known for producing top linemen. He’s incredible as a pulling tackle and could be an immediate upgrade on the right side, with plans to move him to the left as he develops.

In fact, if not for the hip surgery he had late in this season, Ramczyk would likely not even be there when the Giants draft. Even with the surgery, he still might not be.

This seems like a no-brainer for New York at 23.
