New York Giants: 25 prospects to watch on Day 2 of the 2018 NFL Draft
By Sean Dyer
21. Martinas Rankin, OL, Mississippi State
Martinas Rankin played left and right tackle at Mississippi State but most scouts view him as a center at the next level. Rankin certainly provides versatility with the ability to play all five positions on the offensive line. Rankin is a smart, instinctive blocker and the New York Giants love versatile linemen.
22. DaeSean Hamilton, WR, Penn State
If Big Blue wants to double down on Penn State playmakers, DaeSean Hamilton could be their guy. Hamilton works better in the slot but he has great size at 6’1, 203 lb. He is a good route runner with solid hands and he’s elusive after the catch. Hamilton also loves 50-50 balls, coming down with the catch more often than not.
23. P.J. Hall, DL, Sam Houston State

This FCS hidden gem is going to make some NFL general manager look really good some day. P.J. Hall was ultra-productive at Sam Houston State and has the strength, quickness, and explosiveness to translate his game to the NFL level. He was not invited to the NFL Combine but Hall showed out at his Pro Day. Hall could quickly carve out a role as a rotational defensive lineman and can more than contribute on special teams after blocking 14 kicks in his college career.
24. Orlando Brown, OT, Oklahoma
Orlando Brown probably wishes he wasn’t invited to the NFL Combine after putting up one of the worst performances in recent memory. Brown improved some of his numbers at his Pro Day, but it’s clear he lacks athleticism. However, Brown has about as much size as anyone, standing 6’8, 345 lb. Brown’s tape shows that he knows how to use his size to his advantage, however, his lack of flexibility will limit him to right tackle. Giants fans don’t want another Ereck Flowers but if he falls far enough (maybe even into the fourth round), Brown could be worth taking a chance on.
25. Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis
Anthony Miller is a former walk-on who is ready to outwork anyone in his path. Miller is a good route runner and consistently gets open. He tracks the ball well and can adjust his body to make contested catches. Miller’s hands are inconsistent but he’s productive at all three levels of the field. He could be Big Blue’s mid-round replacement for Brandon Marshall.
