Cam Robinson

OT, Alabama

The New York Giants were roasted in the playoffs by the Green Bay Packers, as many believed it was their wide receivers trip to Miami that did them in. While that is definitely not the case, it was still a disappointing end to the season, as their defense proved to be one of the best in the NFL. Quarterback Eli Manning is getting up there in age, so time is running out on another Super Bowl win for him, though the talent around him could get him his third ring.

The biggest area that needs help is the offensive line, as Manning cannot afford to continue to be hit as much as he does. The team needs to bring in some depth to make sure he is not picking himself up off the ground all the time, and Cam Robinson of Alabama would be a nice fit for them at No. 23. Robinson was the anchor of a Crimson Tide offensive line that nearly repeated as National Champions, and he would give the Giants the kind of stability they need protecting Eli’s blind side.

Robinson is good enough to play on both sides of the line, while also possessing the strength to play left tackle. He is as big as any offensive lineman in this draft, and should be able to stay at left tackle at the next level. The Giants also need to bring in a running back for next season, but solidifying their offensive line is definitely priority No. 1 come April.
