My brother-in-law bleeds blue. As much as it disgusts me, I respect his deep-rooted love for all things New York Giants. So since we'll be watching the entire draft together, and it's his birthday on Saturday, I'll take my shot at improving an already loaded Giants roster. But there's no way I'll give them the time or energy I put into My Packers Draft Class, that in keeping with "tradition," I posted earlier this afternoon.
Given their limited roster holes, I'm a big proponent of New York going best player available in most cases, with the goal to ultimately cover five depth improvements -- OT, TE, LB, DT & RB. So without further ado, here are the three players I believe the G-Men should target in the range of each of their seven selections.
Round 1, Pick No. 23 overall
- Joe Mixon, RB (Oklahoma)
- Jarrad Davis, ILB (Florida)
- Forrest Lamp, OG (Western Kentucky)
Round 2, Pick No. 55 overall
- DeShone Kizer, QB (Notre Dame)
- Adam Shaheen, TE (Ashland)
- Samaje Perine, RB (Oklahoma)
Round 3, Pick No. 87 overall
- Chris Wormley, DT (Michigan)
- Duke Riley, OLB (LSU)
- ArDarius Stewart, WR (Alabama)
Round 4, Pick No. 140 overall
- Will Holden, OT (Vanderbilt)
- Roderick Johnson, OT (Florida State)
- Tedric Thompson, FS (Colorado)
Round 5, Pick No. 167 overall
- Ben Boulware, ILB (Clemson)
- Jarron Jones, DT (Notre Dame)
- Dede Westbrook, WR (Oklahoma)
Round 6, Pick No. 207 overall
- Jalen Reeves-Maybin, OLB (Tennessee)
- Chad Williams, WR (Grambling State)
- Chad Kelly, QB (Ole Miss)
Round 7, Pick No. 241 overall
- James Onwualu, OLB (Notre Dame)
- Jylan Ware, OT (Alabama State)
- Amba Etta-Tawo, WR (Syracuse)
