The New York Giants will be looking for key positions in the 2017 NFL Draft.

The New York Giants are on their way to making the playoffs this season. They are sitting in second place in the NFC East. If they keep playing this way they will be looking at a late first round pick.

By always picking the best athlete available in the draft, the Giants rarely fill their needs. This season they have shown signs of needing help on both sides of the ball. In this draft, they need to pick up some help on the offensive and defensive line.

They should also start thinking about picking up a replacement for Eli Manning. The 2017 draft will have plenty of options at the quarterback position. This will be the best time to pick up a quarterback.

Manning will be 36 in January. The New York Giants need to start thinking about the future. Even if Manning continues to be the quarterback for the next couple of years, the rookie could learn from him.

The offensive line has shown trouble protecting Manning. In the draft, they should use their first pick bulking up the line. That is the one key pick that they need the most. We start the Mock draft with the Giants picking an offensive tackle.
