I'm a fan of the New York Giants, and as far as I'm concerned there's only one thing that should be on the Giants mind in the first round...drafting a lineman. As long as they get a lineman in the first round, they can improve upon last year. I personally would prefer that they get a solid run-stopping defensive lineman like Danny Shelton so that they're not bleeding rushing yards to opposing offenses (3rd-worst 2162 rushing yards allowed and league-worst 4.9 YPC allowed). The perfect display of how bad our run defense is was Marshawn Lynch's ridiculous 140 yard, 4 rush TD performance against the Giants in Week 10. But I wouldn't be opposed to getting a solid offensive lineman in the first round so that Eli isn't pressured every other play and has more time to pass to a deadly receiving corps including Odell Beckham Jr., (a hopefully healthy) Victor Cruz, and Rueben Randle. Either one of those two positions must be addressed day one.
With their second day picks, I would hope that they address their issues at linebacker. They have some depth there, but Jon Beason hasn't been fully healthy since 2010, and they have to start thinking about their future at LB. There are quite a few linebackers that I can see falling to the 40th pick, and I think that the Giants should take a linebacker with this pick (like Kendricks or McKinney). With their third pick, they should probably address their safety problems. They lost Antrel Rolle to the Chicago Bears this offseason, and there's no way that the Giants can rely on just two or three guys to hold up at safety. I think the Giants should go choose a solid safety that could at the very least provide some depth at safety. If they don't go for a safety, then I say that they should continue to get guys to help out along the lines (offensive or defensive depending on who was picked in the first).
On the third day, there's not much that I could specify on. Adding more depth along both lines would be great. Again, getting a safety would be a good idea as well, with how thinly stretched we are in that area. Hopefully this draft ends up going well and the Giants end up winning another Super Bowl.
