Giants strengthen defensive line by grabbing B.J. Hill in 3rd round

The New York Giants selected interior defensive lineman B.J. Hill out of NC State in the third round with the 69th pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Giants are dangerously thin on the defensive line after trading Jason Pierre-Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and while Hill plays inside, he's still an important piece to add depth to that unit.

What the analysts are saying

• "While Hill's production has been solid, he will have to develop more strength at the point of attack or become a more explosive upfield player to set himself apart." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Has the tools to be an immediate starter as a 1- or 3-technique." - Matt Miller, Bleacher Report
• "Hill is a one-gapping defensive tackle with decent athleticism who seems to be able to find the football at an adequate rate." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
