Offensive Guard. Iowa. Brandon Scherff. 9. player. 31. The Giants need to upgrade their offensive line this offseason. They need a right tackle, but they are also in need of a guard, even if former 1st round pick Justin Pugh moves inside. There are plenty of tackles in this year’s class, so the Giants can select Scherff in the first and take a tackle on day two. Scherff is a very physical and nasty blocker, who would bring some much needed toughness back to the Giants offensive line.

TJ Clemmings. 10. player. 51. The Rams could be losing one of their tackles and Clemmings can step in a fill in and start right away for them next season. Clemmings is fairly raw and needs to refine his technique a bit, but he is a very good blind side protector — better than Gregg Robinson, who struggled while filling in at left tackle for Jake Long.. Offensive Tackle. Pittsburgh

Previous Pick: La’el Collins, T, LSU

Amari Cooper. 11. player. 53. This trade works out for both teams. Players at positions of need for the Vikings were far down the list and with the disappointing performances from their receivers, the Vikings could have looked to add Cooper. Instead, due to receiving depth in the class and some decent receivers on the roster, the Vikings added another fourth round pick which will help fill more holes on their roster.. Wide Receiver. Alabama

Previous Pick (for the Vikings): TJ Clemmings, T, Pittsburgh

Louisville. DeVante Parker. 12. player. 60. Just as before, the need and value just doesn’t add up for other needs on the Vikings roster, so instead of reaching, the Vikings select the big receiver from Louisville. Parker can step in and become a consistent threat on the outside, something they were going to get from Cordarrelle Patterson and Greg Jennings.. Wide Receiver

Previous Pick (for the Browns): Kevin White, WR, West Virginia 

Next: Picks 13-16
