ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.: 'You Can Bet' Giants Use 1 of 2 First-Round Draft Picks on OL

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. believes upgrading the offensive line should be a priority for the New York Giants in the 2022 NFL draft.

The Giants currently have the No. 5 and No. 7 pick in the first round after thanks to last year's trade with the Chicago Bears, providing an opportunity to add an elite player at a key spot.

"You can bet that one of these two picks will be an offensive lineman," Kiper said on Monday's episode of First Draft (21:40).

Kiper added that North Carolina State lineman Ikem Ekwonu "would be the guy to really look at," while Alabama's Evan Neal was also said to be a possibility.
