23. New York Giants

player. 31. Nothing is more important for the New York Giants over the next few years than the protection of Eli Manning. If they have a Super Bowl left in them, it’s with him. A left tackle like Garett Bolles who thrives as an athletic pass protector is everything they want and don’t have right now.. OT. Utah. Garett Bolles . 23

55. New York Giants

Oklahoma. Samaje Perine . 55. player. 31. The running game for the Giants, to put it politely, has stunk the past couple years. Not having one really cost them in the playoffs too. Samaje Perine started to show his qualities as a determined runner at Oklahoma who offers extended options with his versatility.. RB

87. New York Giants

31. The torn ACL was ill-timed for Jake Butt. Still, he’s a quality pass catcher at tight end who was just starting to take off. Put in an aggressive offense like the Giants where he can attack over the middle and in the red zone, he’ll be another key piece that system has been missing.. TE. Michigan. Jake Butt . 87. player

140. New York Giants

31. The loss of Jonathan Hankins really hurt the defense up front. Nazair Jones will serve to alleviate the issue. Not a quick guy but big, powerful and long. As he figures things out he’s going to be somebody who demands extra attention from blockers.. DT. North Carolina. Nazair Jones . 140. player

167. New York Giants

167. player. 31. Athleticism and physical capability are not in question with Evans. He can play just about any linebacker spot on the field. It’s a matter of whether he is tough enough to handle the demands of a starting job.. LB. Oklahoma. Jordan Evans

207. New York Giants

RB. Utah. Joe Williams . 207. player. 31. More help at running back can’t hurt at this point. Williams comes with character concerns but if he’s matured he’s that quick, elusive type of back who gets big yards when put in open space.

241. New York Giants

WR. Ole Miss. Quincy Adeboyejo . 241. player. 31. Raw as can be and lanky for a wide receiver. Adeboyejo is nonetheless a 6’3″ target who can fly. Physical traits like that are hard to find. So it’s a matter of coaching (and beefing) him up.
