Right Tackle: Dion Dawkins
One may be questioning, who is Dion Dawkins?
Dion Dawkins is tackle from Temple that could slide right into the Giants gap at right tackle.
Just look at how he compares to other offensive linemen:
His numbers show that he is athletic for an offensive tackle. Before the combine, there were worries about his first step quickness, but he squashed those concerns with a blazing fast three-cone drill.
The Giants were also recently in attendance at Temple’s pro day. What that means is that Dawkins could be on Big Blue’s radar.
Matt Miller recently graded Dawkins as the 64th best prospect in the draft. He also cites him as a riser on his draft board.
There are concerns whether long-term the Temple tackle will be able to stick at tackle. If he is unable to do so, he should be a good guard. He kind of reminds me of Justin Pugh-lite, an ok tackle that could be a good guard.
Big Blue could snag this sleeper with their second or perhaps their third round pick. He should be a better right tackle then Bobby Hart.
I could also see the Giants drafting an OT in the first round, or going out and making a splash in free agency. However, the quality of tackles in the market are not appealing this offseason.
