  1. New York Giants

Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State

With Buckner off the board and the Giants desperately needing defensive end help, they take Ogbah. The Giants could go offensive line here and if the Dolphins pass on Hargreaves it’s likely he would be the top pick for the Giants. New York might need to bulk up the defense if it wants any chance of making the playoffs come 2016, after missing the postseason in each of the last four years.

Ogbah had at least one sack in all but two games in 2015 and made 17.5 tackles for losses. The Giants need to get better on the edge and while Jason-Pierre Paul has returned from his hand injury, there are still questions surrounding his recovery. Ogbah is a day one starter for New York.
