13. New York Giants (via BUF)

31. It looks like the New York Giants have something cooking at wide receiver. The trio of Odell Beckham, Victor Cruz and Sterling Shepard should only get better as the season goes on. What the team could really use now is a presence in the ground game to bring everything together. Rashad Jennings and Shane Vereen are serviceable in that aspect but hardly a presence that teams must respect. A true workhorse would be a game-changer. <p>That is why the team, knowing their window for a championship is becoming limited by the age of Eli Manning, decide to make the aggressive push up the board for Dalvin Cook. While not quite the hulking beast Fournette is, Cook is more of a balanced back who has the strength and toughness to grind out yards between the tackles but is also a persistent threat in the passing game. His vision allows him to see the hole quickly and there’s enough acceleration in his lower body to hit it. That’s what the Giants want.</p>. RB. Florida State. Dalvin Cook . 13. player
