Despite winning the Super Bowl, the Giants will be entering the 2012 NFL Draft with many question marks and also many needs to address. The 2011 Giants were exposed in many areas. Aside from Jason Pierre-Paul, the Giants did not have a game-changer on defense (during the season). Someone who can dictate a quarter, a half or even a game by their play-making ability. The Giants have many needs entering the Draft, which includes OL, LB, RB, CB, DE, TE and WR. The Giants could have as many as 8 picks in this year’s Draft (compensation for Barry Cofield and Kevin Boss), most likely the additional picks will fall somewhere between the 4thand 6throunds. As for the Giants' 1stround selection, keep this in mind that the last time the Giants drafted a OL in the 1stround was in 1999, when they selected Luke Petitgout out of Notre Dame. As for linebackers, the last time the Giants drafted a LB in the 1stround was in 1984 for Carl Banks out of Michigan State.
