A middle of the line plugger, which the Giants seem to need. Might have been a bit of a reach even for a need pick. Seems more suited for a 3-4 than a 4-3 defense. If he grabs just enough attention to keep the center away from the Giants ends, he might be worth his considerable weight.

Johnathan Hankins
Second Round: 49th Pick
One of the biggest defensive linemen in this year's draft, Johnathan Hankins shows surprising balance and grace for a man his size. While he does not (and won't ever) offer much as a pass rusher, Hankins has the size, feet, and balance to play multiple positions along the line in a 3-4 defense, although he is still under-developed as a true nose tackle and is more comfortable in space at defensive end and at three-technique right now.
Overall Strengths
+ Impressive size
+ Relatively light feet for his build
+ Good balance
Overall Weaknesses
- Lacks burst in all phases
- Slow, winding punch and inconsistent hand use
- Not great at the point of attack inside
