First Round – Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama

Cam Robinson is a solid offensive tackle. He would bulk up the Giants offensive line. If they do pick up Robinson in the first round, they could move Ereck Flowers to the right side. Flowers has had some trouble and if they moved him to the right side he would have help.

Drafting Robinson would help protect Manning and boost the running game. He has played in every game this season, creating holes for running backs. Robinson is a mid-season All-American in every poll. In his career, he has opened holes for 26 100-yard rushers.

In Robinson’s three years with Alabama he has earned numerous accolades and this season isn’t over yet. Robinson would be a great fit for the Giants. He would be on the left side, where they need the most help. They have struggled on the left side this season.

In order for Manning to be productive going forward, the Giants will need to strengthen the offensive line. With a solid offensive line, they will also be able to get the running game going. The Giants have struggled on offense this season and a stronger offensive line will fix that.
