Tonight all 32 teams set course for 2015 and beyond as the first round of the NFL Draft has finally come. All of the speculation will become reality as the best the collegiate level has to offer take the next (and perhaps biggest) step in their football lives.
For the Giants, it will be imperative to find the player that not only fit the system, but can boost the future to great heights right away much like Odell Beckham did last season. There is a vast crop of talent that is most enticing, so deciding on whom to take will be a very difficult and pressured task. All in all the I feel the Giants will do what's best for them and seek to solidify a hopefully promising future for the organization.
With that said here are my predictions for the Giants fist 4 picks of the draft
Round 1: Brandon Scherff OT Iowa - This pick should be pretty easy. Unless something drastic happens early and a talent better than Scherff falls, this is the guy to take. He's versatile, has great run blocking ability, and will help the offensive line immediately. Considering where the Giants line has been the past 4 years, Scherff is a must have
Other considerable picks: Andrus Peat OT Stanford, Erick Flowers OT Miami
Round 2: Shaq Thompson S (Safety) Wahington - The loss of Antrelle Rolle to Chicago leaves a big hole in in the Giants secondary. Filling it an with a sideline to sideline to sideline threat like Thompson would make a mice upgrade. He has a bug size to him which could be a detriment, but what he can do on the field makes up for it. He also can double as a linebacker making a rare two way player if they should want to go that route.
Other considerable picks: Eric Rowe S Utah, Preston Smith DE Mississippi State, Eli Harold DE Virginia
Round 3: Henry Anderson DT/DE Stanford - The Giants struggled to stop the run up the middle and really need to get more help, Anderson is just the guy. He has the ability to quickly plug gaps with his speed off the line and would provide a nice duo with John Hankins, whom played well last season.
Other considerable picks: Mario Edwards DT Florida State, Kwon Alexander LB LSU
Round 4: Durell Eskridge S Syracuse - The team lost nearly all of their safeties to free agency and adding another for depth is good idea. At 6'3" Eskridge is very tall for this position and his length alone will cause problems for quarterbacks whom throw towards him. It also helps that Coughlin has and affinity affinity for selecting players from Syracuse.
Other considerable picks: Josh Shaw S USC, Davis Tull DE UT-Chattanooga, Ramik Wilson LB Georgia
