The New York Giants are just weeks from the NFL Draft, holding picks at 5th overall and around the 37th spot. One analyst predicts they'll grab Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigua with that top five choice. At 6ft 6 and 329 pounds, he's seen as a versatile tackle who could anchor their line long-term. Mauigua brings elite athleticism and power to handle pro-pass rushers. For a Giants front that's lacked consistency, he could be a key building block right away, even sliding inside to guard if needed. That pick raises eyebrows though, since the team just resigned right tackle Jermaine Eloim Muner for two years. They also have Andrew Thomas on the left and depth like Marcus Imbo, making an early tackle grab seem puzzling when guards are available later. Some of needs look bigger, especially at linebacker with guys like Sunny Styles or Arville Reese from Ohio State in play.

1:01Corner back depth matters too, after signing Greg Newsom the second to starter money. Meanwhile, the same mock has San Diego State's Chris Johnson heading to New York at 37 for secondary help, or they might eye higher upside. Corners like LSUs, Montsour DeLane, early instead.
