2. New York Giants

The time is now for the New York Giants to invest in a long-term option at tight-end. Odell Beckham Jr. is going to get a ton of targets, but having a reliable tight-end would make life on Eli Manning significantly better.

Giants tight-end Will Tye has 57 targets this year, but has only one touchdown catch. That is simply not being productive or successful for a tight-end in the National Football League.

Cole Hikutini would excel in New York and could be the Giants best option at tight-end since Jeremy Shockey.

If I were in the Giants’ front-office, then I would make every effort to draft Cole Hikutini in this coming draft.
