The Giants rumors are growing around who New York will target in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. The New York Giants have the 2nd overall pick in the draft after finishing 3-13 last season and New York has plenty of holes that need to be filled if they want to make it back into the playoffs. The Giants traded for linebacker Alec Ogletree on Wednesday. The Giants addressed a huge need with this trade, but still may want to add a linebacker in the later rounds of the draft. Here are the three biggest needs for the Giants entering the 2018 NFL Draft.

1.) Running Back
If Penn State running back Saquon Barkley isn't the first player selected in the NFL Draft, running back should become the Giants biggest need. The Giants running game really struggled last season ranking 26th in yards and 28th in touchdowns. The Giants ran the ball only 394 times last season and if they want to take pressure off the offensive line and quarterback Eli Manning, selecting Barkley would be smart.

2.) Quarterback
Eli Manning isn't getting any younger at age 37, so it would be smart for the Giants to invest in a quarterback this season. A player who could sit behind Manning and learn the Giants offense. Manning struggled last season throwing for only 19 touchdowns, it was the second time in Manning's career he didn't pass for 20 touchdowns since his rookie season. Perhaps the end is already here for Manning.
3.) Offensive Guard
The Giants had one of the worst offensive lines in football last season and struggled to keep Manning upright allowing 34 sacks. Defensive pressure seemed to always be in the face of Manning, so perhaps drafting one of the safest players in this year's draft at second overall would be a smart move for the Giants. Quenton Nelson is the best lineman in this year's draft and perhaps the best player in the entire draft.
