New York Giants

1 Defensive End – There is no way of ignoring that the Giants need a pass rusher, especially with the possibility (although low) of Jason Pierre-Paul leaving via free agency and fellow defensive end Robert Ayers being an unrestricted free agent as well. If the Giants were able to bring back JPP, the Giants can very well look to draft an elite prospect at 10th overall to go opposite of JPP. Shaq Lawson of Clemson, Noah Spence of Eastern Kentucky, or even Emmanuel Ogbah of Oklahoma State can be brought in to provide a more reliable facet to their defense and upgrade the pass rushing element.

2. Linebacker – The entire position as a whole could use a nice infusion of talent. Although the team may resort to free agency to upgrade, the draft has plenty of talent to choose from. A first round selection may not be needed but there are definite options. With Reggie Ragland possibly being an option, the team could snatch Myles Jack in a heartbeat if by some miracle he falls to the 10th overall selection. LB Antonio Morrison could be called upon in the middle rounds to provide a spark to the unit.

3. Offensive Tackle – Left tackle Ereck Flowers struggled at times during his rookie 2015 season and the team could possibly kick Flowers to the right side where there is a legit void on the offensive line. Left tackle Shon Coleman of Auburn could be a legit candidate in the second or third round or if the team views Flowers the future left tackle they could turn to Germain Ifedi of Texas A&M or Spencer Drango of Baylor can be used to improve the right tackle spot.
