1st Round: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M

The Giants have fielded one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL this season, which is why going after the best upgrades possible is a top priority for the G-Men. Especially with Beatty providing subpar protection on the left side, a new blindside blocker is a must. With Matthews, the Giants would be getting the best blocker in the 2014 class and an upgrade at left tackle. He’s a dominant run blocker who also has the pass blocking prowess to keep Manning clean.

2nd Round: Gabe Jackson, G, Mississippi State

Both of the Giants’ starting guards are headed for free agency this offseason, which means they need to find some help at the position. More than anything, they need to get David Diehl out of the starting lineup. Jackson is a dominant blocker who paves massive lanes in the run game. He is flat-footed as a pass blocker, but shows impressive athleticism for his size and doesn’t back down against elite opposition. The Giants need an upgrade, and Jackson is exactly that.

3rd Round: Marcel Jensen, TE, Fresno State

So far this season, the Giants have yet to get any sort of consistent production from their tight ends. Brandon Myer has been a bit of a bust, and the other options are limited in terms of potential. Adding a young pass-catcher to the mix will be a big help moving forward. Jensen is an outstanding receiving tight end out of Fresno State who has the ability to stretch seams and make defenses pay. The Bulldogs haven’t used him a bunch, but Jensen definitely has the tools to be a threat in the NFL.

4th Round: Lamin Barrow, ILB, LSU

There’s no denying that Jon Beason has been a nice addition to the Giants defense, but he’s only a stop-gap. New York needs a young, energetic middle linebacker who can be the leader of the defense moving forward. While Barrow isn’t a sure-fire option, there’s reason to be positive about his chances. He’s a sure tackler with tremendous athleticism. He is a bit lacking in the speed department and isn’t great in coverage, but Barrow has the physical tools to make plays in the NFL.

5th Round: L’Damian Washington, WR, Missouri

With Hakeem Nicks unsure to return to New York in 2014, the Giants might want to add some extra talent to their receiving corps during the offseason. Even if they sign someone during free agency, going to the receiver well during the draft couldn’t hurt. That’s where Washington comes in. The Missouri receiver is a tall, lean target with the speed to stretch the field from the flanker spot. Although his thin frame and lack of strength are issues, Washington has the height and hands to contribute early.

6th Round: Larry Webster, DE, Bloomsburg

Even though the second half of the season has been better than the first, the Giants could still use some help at defensive end. Jason Pierre-Paul hasn’t been himself lately and Mathias Kiwanuka has dropped off significantly. By drafting a small-school talent like Webster, the Giants can allow the youngster to come along slowly while developing his raw talents. He has a tall frame, plenty of athleticism and a keen ability to get to the quarterback. It might take a while, but Webster has the potential to be productive.
