He's my choice as well. I don't think it would matter what personnel/scheme you ran. He is the best defensive player ever and in the top 2 or 3 for best player ever.
Now, if you want to take him out of the equation as a too obvious answer, I think my next choice would be either Strahan or Bavaro or Rossevelt Brown, given our current needs.
But the question was - if I could take ANY player.
IMAGINE a CENTER who would win MVP in today's NFL. What would that mean? Pancake blocks nearly every down, a second-level steamroller. PLUS he's a freakin' 2-way player!
MEL is what the Giants need, not LT - could keep Richburg at Guard, entire line improves, plus a DL STARTER. With the JPP and Beatty injuries, MEL HEIN is what the Giants need.
Mel Hein weighed 225 pounds. Kind of light for a Center nowadays.
As for LT, he'd probably set a record for getting flagged and fined.
I'll take Bavaro.
LT was not in any way a dirty player or cheap shot artist. He hit the shit out of you, but never a cheap shot. Jaworski in particular and others generally have said that consistently.

No, but LT simply wouldn't have been allowed to play the way he did. Some of the hits were absolute backbreakers.
PLUS, he NEVER got hurt, and NEVER got busted with blow or 16-year old prostitutes.
And he didn't need a facemask, like the pussies who play today.
The question would be better phrased any past player other than LT.
I'd give Roosevelt Brown strong consideration

Elliott? Bavaro?
Elliott? Bavaro?
Rosy Brown
Elliott? Bavaro?

now if you couldn't pick Taylor who would you choose?
Elliott? Bavaro?
no strahan?
Maybe, but right now I'm thinking this offense with an actual tackle.
LT, LT, LT, LT, ...!!!!!!!

For the 2015 Giants if not LT I'd say Roosevelt Brown.

2. Brown
3. Bavaro
4. Carson.
5. Tunell

Well hold on - I presumed in this fantasy that players would be adjusted for size and speed. :)
A MVP center in today's league who could play DL as well would be at least 50 lbs heavier than Mel.
So, again, I'm going with Hein. +50 lbs.

Give me Jumbo Elliott.
FUNNY!
You can't pick C.C. Brown. It has to be a player "in his prime." Brown never had a prime.

You mean he was divisible by two?
Like Joe Theismann's leg? [just keeping the LT meme going]

LT didn't get busted with prostitutes in his prime.
